BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Vary the throttle setting during the first hour of operation. During
the first hour of operation, avoid remaining at a constant speed
for more than two minutes and avoid sustained wide open
throttle.
Warming Up the Engine
It's important to warm‑up the engine for three minutes. This
allows the lubrication system to circulate and deliver oil to all the
moving parts of an engine.
Operating the engine without warm‑up will reduce engine
performance and shorten the life of the engine. Be sure to check
that cooling water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole
during warm‑up.
