Avoid unnecessary engine idling.

The following recommendations should be strictly followed during engine breaking-in period:

1. Maintain engine oil level between maximum and minimum marks on the dipstick and change oil after the first 90 to 110 hours of operation.
2. Subject the engine to moderate to heavy loads and to different speeds.
3. If the engine was subjected to light load for a relatively prolonged period or if within the first 100 hours of operation oil had to be added, a longer break-in period is required. In these situations change engine oil and filter at 100 hours and begin a new break-in period for another 100 hours, using special oil for breaking-in or a fine oil and follow the above procedures.
4. Check the oil level more regularly in this break-in period.

• During the first 100 hours do not top up engine oil unless the oil level is below the minimum mark on the dipstick.
• During the break-in period of new or rebuilt engines only use special break-in oil or "fine" oils like SAE 10W30.
• Do not use normal oil like SAE 15W40. These oils are not appropriate for breaking-in of engine.
