Depressing accelerator pedal will release

RUN-IN
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in
shipment from the factory. Avoid full throttle starts and
rapid acceleration until the engine has achieved operat-
ing temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the first
hours of operation. As internal moving parts are run-in,
oil consumption should gradually decrease until the rate
of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule
(Ref Fig. 19 on page 15). Add oil if the le vel on the dip-
stick indicates that oil is in the add oil range (Ref Fig. 9
on page 5)
.
