the engine parts to seat and wear properly without
undue strain which can cause premature failure.

operate your vehicle above 18mph. for
extended periods of time.
2. Your first tank of fuel should be a pre‐mixture
of fuel and oil at a 50:1 ratio. This will ensure
that the oil pump system has been primed and
bled of air that may have occurred in shipping.
