ENGINE BREAK-IN PERIOD

The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of

of fuel. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive
components will result in more efficient performance and
longer life for these components.
CAUTION

Never substitute or mix oil brands. Serious engine
damage can result.
Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for
extended periods during the first three hours of use.
Excessive heat can build up and cause damage to
close fitted engine parts.

level indicated on oil tank dipstick. Add oil if
