8
Breaking in the Machine
No Parts Required
Procedure
Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the
break-in period.
The first several hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine. You must monitor the
machine performance closely so that minor difficulties,
which could lead to major problems, are noted and
can be corrected. During the first few hours of
operation, inspect the machine frequently for signs of
oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for the
recommended break-in-period oil change and
maintenance procedures.
