15 Break in Period
15 BREAK IN PERIOD
15.1 Operation During Break In
A break-in period of 10 operating hours or 300 mi (480 km) is
required for this vehicle. Mahindra recommends that the engine oil
and filter be replaced after this break in period has been completed.
During the break in period it is best to avoid pressing the accelerator
pedal beyond 3/4 of its full stroke. Avoid extended hard accel-
erations like those required for hill climbing. Avoid extended periods
at steady cruising speeds, it is best to vary your speed as much as
possible during this period. Brief accelerations and speed variations
contribute to a good break-in.
During the break in period you should also shift the transfer case
between 2WD and 4WD High range at low speeds (1-5 mph). This
also contributes to a good break in and will familiarize you with the
effort required to perform this operation while moving.
Bring the ROXOR to a complete stop with engine run-
ning before shifting the transfer case into 4WD Low Range to prevent
gear damage and ease engagement. The ROXOR can be shifted
between 2WD and 4WD High ranges at any speed.
15.2 Tips for Maximizing Durability
Riding style and conditions have a direct impact on durability. If rid-
ing in any of the following conditions, Mahindra highly recommends
you not maintain wide open throttle (WOT) for more than two (2)
minutes. Examples of wide open throttle (WOT) are high ambient
temperatures above 86°F (30°C), heavy passenger and/or cargo
loads, heavy drags like soft sand and/or hill climbing and mud
bogs. After a few minutes at WOT, partially release the accelerator
pedal and allow the engine and drivetrain to cool down.
