Engine Break-In

New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel

feet MSL the carburetor must be adjusted by an authorized Shindaiwa

If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,000 feet MSL, the
carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below
1,000 feet MSL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.
