hours or one month.
9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25
hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
Brake System Break-in
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or
overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage
brake pads and rotors.

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life
and better performance. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the
duct and from the engine compartment.

and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.
Sand/Dune/Mud Break-In
Drive in low gear for the first 5 miles (8 km) of operation. Avoid
prolonged low speed operation at high throttle. Avoid aggressive
acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific
RPM during this period.
