Running in the engine

The engine needs a running in period. Handling the vehicle correctly during this run-
ning in period will help to maximise the service life and the performance of the engine.
Notes on the running in period:
● During the first 10 operating hours only drive at a maximum of half throttle.
● Vary the load range and the engine speed range during the running in period.
● Do not tow any trailers during the running in period.
● Let the engine idle for a few minutes after starting until it has reached the normal
operating temperature.
● Do not let the engine idle for too long.

Running in the brake pads

WARNING
New brake pads may significantly increase the braking distance. Drive
anticipatorily and brake prematurely.
New brake pads must be run in to obtain their ideal frictional force.
CAUTION
Only run the brakes in in an area that is big enough to allow safe acceleration
to 50 km/h and coming to a complete stop.
Running in the brake pads:
1. Accelerate to 50 km/h.
2. Brake down to 0-8 km/h.
3. Repeat this procedure five times.
