OPERATION
Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn,
which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the
safety section of this owner’s manual.
Vehicle Break-in Period
The break-in period for your new vehicle is defined as the first ten hours of operation, or the time it
takes to use the first two full tanks of gasoline.
No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new
engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these
components. Perform the following procedures carefully.
NOTICE:
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted
engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the
first three hours of use.
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage. Always use the
recommended oil. Never substitute or mix oil brands.
