Engine break-in procedure

Please use the following Break-in Procedure to ensure optimum performance of your replacement Topline product.

1) Use fuel with an octane of 87 or higher.

2) Oil must be high in Zinc and Phosphorus! Do not use any full synthetic oils for the first 25 hours of run time.

a) Brands that work well:
   i)   Royal Purple
   ii)  Comp Cams Break-In Oil
   iii) Lucas Hot Rod Oil
   iv) There are other various oils high in Zinc that will work

3) Check oil level, add oil if necessary for the first 25 hours of run time.

4) Once Topline product is started, bring RPM’s to 1,500-2000 RPM for 6 Minutes.

5) Drive slowly first, bringing the Topline product up to operating temperature.

6) Engines must be broken-in under a load! Running these machines with no load can cause the cylinders to glaze up and not seat in properly, causing engines to lose oil during normal operation.

7) Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle or sustained high speed.

8) Perform regular checks on all fluids, controls, and bolt torques.

9) Pull a variation of light and heavy loads during Break-In.

10) Change Engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of operation.

11) Change oil after the Break-In period at 25 hours. (At this point you can switch back over to any recommended full synthetic oils.)

Transmission break-in procedure

Please use the following Break-in Procedure to ensure optimum performance of your replacement transmission.

1) Run only Polaris AGL full synthetic transmission fluid. (All other oils must be approved by Topline)

2) Check oil level, add if necessary

3) Vary speeds for 5 hours of run time

4) Change oil after 5 hours (This helps remove fine metals from standard wear during break in.)

5) Pull light loads during break-in.

6) Perform regular checks on fluids, controls and bolt torqs.
