RUNNING IN
The progressive running
in
of a new car
is
very important,
to
ensure
that
the
vehicle
gives
smooth and reliable performance, with economy and durability.
For
the
first
500
miles, do
not
exceed 3,000 r.p.m.
in
any gear and
do
not use any
more throttle opening than
will
sustain 3,000 r.p.m.
in
4th. Increase throttle
opening and r.p.m. at the rate of
1,000 r.p.m. per 500 miles, so
that
at 1,000 miles
you are using 4,000 r.p.m. and a little more throttle,
at
1,50,0miles 5,ooo'r.p.m.
and
at
2,000 trllles 6,000 r.p.m. Thereafter, maximum
throttle
and r.p.m. can be
used
in
short bursts
if
conditions permit. The r.p.m. and throttle opening should
be
gradually anekmoothly increased.
