Engine Break-In; Parking - Benelli TRK 502 Manual Del Propietário

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period in the
life of your engine than the period between 0
and 1600 km. For this reason, you should read
the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an
excessive load on it for the first 1600 km. The
various parts in the engine wear and polish
themselves to the correct operating clearan-
ces.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might result
in engine overheating must be avoided.
0–1000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 5600 r/min.
NOTICE
After 1000 km of operation, the engine oil
must be changed and the oil filter cartrid-
ge or element replaced
1000–1600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 6800 r/min.
1600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated normally.
NOTICE
• Keep the engine speed out of the ta-
chometer high-rpm zone.
• If any engine trouble should occur du-
ring the engine break-in period, im-
mediately have a Benelli dealer check
the vehicle.

Parking

When parking, stop the engine, and then re-
move the key from the main switch.
WARNING
• Since the engine and exhaust system
can become very hot, park in a place
where pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch them and be burned.
• Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle may
overturn, increasing the risk of a fuel
leak and fire.
• Do not park near grass or other flam-
mable materials which might catch
fire.
