operation. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break in
period. Careful treatment of new engine will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures
carefully.
CAUTION
do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the
break-in period. Excessive heat can build up and cause damage to close fitted
engine parts.
Please set a limit to
half throttle during
the break-in periods.
