* New engines DO NOT require a running-in period. The engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle immediately; glazing of the cylinder bores resulting in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the engine is gently run-in. Under no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods; (e.g. warming up without load).
