Break-in period

[tre_oh]

The manual has a single page entitled "Break in hints for the first 2000 miles" (p. 19). It's too tedious to reproduce it all here. Quoting some of the key points as follows:

"This wearing-in occurs mainly in the first 2000 miles"
"Preferably take longer trips"
"Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops"
"Do not exceed maximum engine speed of 4200 rpm"
"Do not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear"
"Do not let the engine labor, especially when driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time"
"Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period"
etc....
