OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
5-4
Engine break in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km. For this reas
-on, you should read the following mate
-rial carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the rst
1000 km . The various parts in the eng
-ine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
After 1000 km of operation, the nal
transmission oil must be changed.
1000 km and beyond
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation.
Vary speeds occasionally.
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Explorer dealer
check the vehicle.
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them.
Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn.
Never park in an area where there are
re hazards such as grass or other
ammable materials.
CAUTION:
