OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operation During Break-In
Period
Engine
A break-in period of 10 operating hours
is required before running the vehicle
at sustained full throttle.
During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 1/2 to 3/4 opening.
However, brief full acceleration and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in. Continued wide open throt-
tle accelerations, prolonged cruising
speeds and engine overheating are
detrimental during the break-in period.

Starting the Engine

Insert key in ignition switch and turn to
ON position.
