There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.

ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.
150–500 km (90–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2

Rev the engine freely through the
