RUN-IN
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in shipment from
the factory. Avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration until the
engine has achieved operating temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the first hours of
operation. As internal moving parts are run-in, oil consumption should
gradually decrease until the rate of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule. Add oil if the
level on the dipstick indicates that oil is in the add oil range (Ref Fig. 13
on page 3-14).
Never overfill the engine with oil,
foaming may result and oil may
enter the breather system.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place
before operating the engine. Failure to install the
dipstick and fill cap will result in oil becoming contaminated and/
or oil being discharged into the engine compartment.
The oil should be changed in accordance with the Periodic Service
Schedule while the engine is warm. See SERVICE AND MAINTE-
NANCE for checking oil level and changing oil procedures.
COLD STARTING
Starting a cold engine may require use of the choke. Depress the
accelerator approximately 1" (2.5 cm) or until the starter just begins to
operate. Pull the choke out if required. Accelerate slowly and push the
choke in completely when the engine runs smoothly.
Do not allow the starter to operate
continuously for more than 10
seconds. Allow 30 seconds between starting
attempts. If the vehicle does not start on the third
