Proper attention to the engine manufacturer's directions

The proper break-in of a new engine can make a
considerable difference to the performance and life of the
engine.
During the break-in period, Textron Turf Care And Specialty
Products recommends the following:

should be allowed to reach an operating temperature of
at least 140°F (60°C) prior to operation at full load.

the engine. If the oil level is low, remove oil filler cap and add
