Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in the
life of your machine than the period between
zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully read
the following material. Because the engine is
brand new, you must not put an excessive load
on it for the first several hours of running. During
the first 20 hours, the various parts in the engine
wear and polish themselves to the correct oper-
ating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle opera-
tion or any condition which might result in exces-
sive engine heating must be avoided. However,
momentary (2–3 seconds maximum) full throttle
operation under load does not harm the engine.

NOTE:
The sponge material should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricat-
ed more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the filter case for obstructions. Check the
air filter case rubber joint to the carburetor and
manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all
fittings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, opera-
tion without the air filter element will affect
carburetor jetting with subsequent poor per-
formance and possible engine overheating.
