OPERATING NEW VEHICLE
How a new vehicle is handled and maintained
determines the life of vehicle.
A new vehicle just off the factory production line
has been tested, however, the various engine
parts are not completely seated to the correct
operating clearances. For this reason the
operator should pay particular attention while
operating the vehicle for the first 50 hours. For
the first 50 hours, operate the vehicle at a slower
speed and avoid excessive work or operation
until
the various parts become “broken-in.” The
manner to which you handle the vehicle during
the “break-in” period greatly affects the life of
your vehicle. Therefore, to obtain maximum
engine performance and the longest life of the
vehicle, it is very important to properly break-in
your vehicle.
For correct handling of a new vehicle, the
following precautions should be observed.
■
Do not operate the vehicle at full speed for
the first 50 hours.
Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes
suddenly.
In winter, operate the vehicle after fully
warming up the engine.
Do not run the engine at speeds faster than
prescribed.
On rough roads, slow down to suitable
speeds.
The above precautions are not limited to
new vehicles. However, they should be
especially observed for new vehicles.

Changing Lubricating Oil for New Vehicles
The lubricating oil is especially important for a
new vehicle. Various parts need time to wear
and polish themselves to the correct
operating clearances. Small pieces of metal
(grit) may develop during the
“break-in”
period. For this reason, changing the
lubricating oil more often during break-in is
required. For further details on oil change
intervals
, see “MAINTENANCE” section
