Breaking in engine

Your new engine requires a period of break-in to allow mating
surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly.
Caution
Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even
severe engine damage.
1. For the first hour of operation: Run the engine at 2000 r/min or at approximately half
throttle.
2. For the second hour of operation: Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately
three-quarter throttle.
3. For the next eight hours of operation: Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more
than five minutes at a time.
4. Operate the engine normally.
