7. Carry only light loads.

8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25

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.

only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation
and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.

Sand/Dune 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.
