Fill engine oil

The engine is shipped from the factory with-

you must fill it before starting the engine.
NOTICE: Check that the engine is filled
with oil before first-time operation to avoid
severe engine damage.
The engine is shipped with the following tag,
which should be removed after engine oil is
filled for the first time. For more information
on checking the engine oil level, see page 50.

Breaking in engine

Your new engine requires a period of break-
in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to
wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help en-
sure proper performance and longer engine
life. NOTICE: Failure to follow the break-in
procedure could result in reduced engine
life or even severe engine damage.
