IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING
Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,
accident or rollover, 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 the first 25 hours of operation. No
single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful
treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer
life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
NOTICE
Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage
close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle
or high speeds during the first 3 hours of use.
