Break - Dinli DMX 450 Owner's Manual

6-3. BREAK-IN
The brake-in period is critical to the long term life and reliability of the engine. The break-in period for the engine is at
least 1 hour.
When operating during this period be sure to observe the following cautions:
● Ride at low to medium engine speeds, Keep the speed below 70Km/ hr.
● Do not lug or rev the engine during the break-in period.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
● Do not hold the throttle grip in one position for more than a few seconds. It is better to roll the throttle on and off
and ride on flat terrain.
● Avoid riding up steep hills and in sand because this produces greater engine loads, possibly damaging engine
components.
1. Ride the ATV normally for two 10-minute segments using no more than 1/2 throttle.
Wait for the engine to cool completely between segments.
2. Next, ride three 15-minute segments using no more than 3/4 throttle, again allowing the engine to cool between
rides.
NOTE:
During all rides, it is important to shift gears often so that high rpms are avoided and the engine is not
lugged
