between zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you
carefully read the following material.
Because the engine is brand new, you
must not put an excessive load on it for
the first several hours of running. During
the first 20 hours, the various parts in
the engine wear and polish them- selves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might
result in excessive engine heating must
be avoided. However, momentary (2-3
seconds maximum) full throttle
operation under load does not harm the
engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial
rest period for engine by cruising at
lower r/min so the engine can rid itself of
the temporary build up of heat. If any
abnormality is noticed during this period,
consult an dealer.
0-10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half
throttle. Allow a cooling off period of five
to ten minutes after every hour of
operation. Vary the speed of the vehicle
from time to time. Do not operate it at
one set throttle position.
