Breaking-in a new engine


I don't see information about breaking-in a new engine in the operator's manual online (other than changing the transmission oil after 25 hours and the engine oil after 50 hours), but does Beta have a specific procedure to follow for the first few hours of running a new engine?

Thanks

We recommend that you vary the engine speed and not run it for longer than 30 minutes at any one speed.
When you do your first oil change I suggest that you go around the installation and check all mounting bolts etc for tightness.

Thanks Stanley - that is nice and easy - the first engine oil change is at 50 hours, first transmission oil change is at 25 hours, right?

I have always changed engine oil and filter earlier than recommended on the first service. This practice has worked out well for me and dates back from when I was learning about engines and maintenance.
I would do both at 25 hours and then at 100 hours.
