T350 in Brief

Running In

The purpose of running in is to allow the new engine components to bed in correctly.
To gain maximum performance, service life and general reliability, the best policy
to adopt during the run in period is to avoid high engine rpm and large throttle
openings but most importantly, not allowing the engine to labour in a high gear.
Recommended rpm during the running in period
Starting the engine from cold. 0-1000 miles, rpm should not exceed 2500 rpm until
the engine is warm.
1. 0-250 miles, max rpm should not exceed 3500 rpm even
when the engine is warm.
2. 250-2000 miles, rpm should be gradually increased until full power and max rpm
for the vehicle is achieved.
3. Do not use full throttle accelerations in low gear for at least
900 miles and avoid full throttle use in any gear for the first
250 miles
4. Avoid driving at a constant speed within the first 300 miles.

Tyres

To obtain the maximum performance from the tyres it is advisable to avoid excessive
braking and cornering whenever possible during the 0-500 mile period.

Brakes

To bed the brake pads in correctly, avoid excessive braking during the first 500 miles,
unless required to do so in an emergency.
