The longevity and performance of the
vehicle are greatly affected by the care
exercised during the first 1,000 miles
of motoring. Because of modern manu-
facturing techniques, rigid guidelines
regarding maximum road speeds have
become unnecessary. However, cer-
tain precautions should be observed in
order to obtain the best possible per-
formance and useful life from the ve-
hicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a
load (i.e revving the engine in neu-
tral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maxi-
mum engine speed should be re-
stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually
increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed
operation. The internal components
of the engine will become more
quickly run in if the operation speed
is varied during the running in pe-
riod.
4) Never allow the engine to labour.
Use the gearbox freely and avoid
large throttle openings when the
engine speed is below 1,500 rpm.
