BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.
PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)
Always break in the clutches and drive belt of new vehicles, as well as after a
belt replacement.
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower
speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
