doors, and start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for a short period before operating.

7� Apply throttle. Drive slowly at first, varying throttle positions not more than ½ throttle for 10 hours or 100
miles, then another 10 hours or 100 miles of not more than ¾ throttle (whichever interval arrives first). Do
