OPERATION

Break-In Period

Engine and Drivetrain Break-in

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Review the gasoline warnings on

page 17.

2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain

the oil level in the normal (safe) operating range.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to famil-

iarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 43.

6. Pull only light loads.
7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25

hours.

8. Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of

operation and every 100 hours thereafter to ensure proper cable ten-

sion. See page 92.

PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life

and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at

slower speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only

light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation dur-

ing the break-in period.
