Break-In Procedure:
A new vehicle and an overhauled engine require a “breakin” period. The first 10 hours (or 200 miles) are most critical to the life of this vehicle. Proper operation during this break-in period will help assure maximum life and performance from the vehicle. During the first 10 hours (or 200 miles) of operation, always use less than 1/2 throttle. Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the components to “load” (aiding the mating process) and then “unload” (allowing components to cool).
- Although it is essential to place some stress on the engine components during breakin, care should be taken not to overload the engine too often. Do not pull a trailer or carry heavy loads during the 10-hour break-in period. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly.
- Idle the engine several minutes until the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time. During the break-in period, a maximum of 1/2 throttle is recommended; however, brief full-throttle accelerations and variations in driving speeds contribute to good engine break-in. After the completion of the break-in period, the engine oil and oil filter should be changed. Other maintenance after break-in should include checking of all prescribed adjustments and tightening of all fasteners (see Periodic Maintenance Chart in Periodic Maintenance/Tune-Up).
