Safety

Driving at the maximum speed for each gear should be avoided.
REGULATION OF RUNNING IN WITHIN THE RANGE OF 1,000-1,500 KM:

Driving speed can be gradually increased to the maximum, or engine operates at its allowable highest revolution.
Attentions should be paid after the period of running in:
The permissible maximum speed for short time running of the engine is 6000r/m. When shifting gear manually, when pointer of the tachometer
reaches the red indication zone, be sure to shift to a next higher gear.
Shifting to the high gear
early is in favor of saving fuel and
reducing the driving noise. Once the
engine is found to run unsteadily,
please shift the gear to the
neighboring low gear immediately.
During running-in, never operate the
engine at high speed!
