Engine Break-In

Always follow these recommended break-in procedures for new or rebuilt engines. The first tank of fuel is considered the break-in period for the engine.

Always premix the initial fuel and future fuel.

Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first three hours of use. Vary the throttle openings and vehicle speeds to reduce friction on all close-fitting machined parts, allowing them to break in slowly without damage.

Drive with extra caution during the break-in period. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important areas of the machine.
