RUNNING
IN
After
the
first
500 kms.
(300
miles)
Every
500
kms.
(300
miles)
During the
first
1600
kms.
(1000
miles),
a
new or overhauled machine ought
to
be
used
with
some intelligence
as
the efficiency, per-
formance,
and
life
of
the engine are largely
dependant
on
how
it
is run in.
The
engine should never
be
allowed to reach
a high number
of
revolutions before
it
has
had
a chance to warm up sufficiently. Never
ride the machine at the highest permissible
speeds
for
each
gear before the machine
has
been well broken in.
Should the engine speed drop
off
considera·
bly
on
an
uphill grade, a lower gear should
be
immediately engaged. In case
of
overheat-
ing,
it
is best
to
stop and allow the engine
to cool down.
Under
no
circumstances whatever should the
following speeds
be
exceeded in the running
in period.
Maximum permissible speeds:
Distance:
up
to
800
kms. (500
miles):
in low
gear.
45
kms.
(28
miles)
in second gear
65
kms.
(40
miles)
in third gear
85
kms.
(53
miles)
in fourth gear
100
kms.
(62
miles)
in top gear
115
kms.
(72
miles)
from
800
to 1600 kms. (500 to 1000
miles):
in
low
gear.
55
kms.
(34.5
miles)
in second gear .
80
kms.
(50
miles)
in
third
gear.
.
105
kms.
(65
miles)
in fourth gear .
120
kms
(75
miles)
in top gear
..
140
kms.
(87,5
miles)
From
1600
to
3000
kms.
(1000
to
1800
miles)
the speed
can
be gradually increased
up
to
the maximum permissible limits.
Change the engine oil.
Tighten all nuts
and
bolts.
Check valve clearance.
Check
distributor
points.
Chek oil level. Correct level is in between
the minimum and maximum mark
on
the
filler
cap dipstick.
