Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU36531
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min.
NOTICE:
After 1000 km
(600 mi) of operation, the engine oil
must be changed, and the oil filter
cartridge or element replaced.
