Vehicle Break-in Period
The break-in period for your new RANGER is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of fuel. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first 3 hours of use.
