Broke it in last night then tried the AC in the trailer at 95 degrees. During break in I threw some good loads at it including a 1250 watt hair dryer and a box heater 1500 Watts at the same time (2750 watts).
So what is the break in procedure, I see nothing in the manual? Typically it is a good idea to run new equipment gently for a period of time.
This is what I did....
1. Dino oil, run it for 15 min no load with magnetic dipstick, then vary from eco to non eco a few times. Drain oil, clean dipstick, refill oil.
2. Run for 5 min, put hairdryer or vaiable loads between 250-1000 watts for 10 seconds followed by no load for 5 minutes, both on regular and Eco mode a few times. Drain oil, clean dipstick, refill oil.
3. Run for 5 min, hit it with max load for 10 seconds then no load for 5 min. Repeat using Eco mode (to vary rpms and throttle) do this a few times. Idle for 5-10 min then do what you want for load....run no load for 5 min, drain Dino oil and clean dipstick (wont be much on it anymore).
The whole thing took me about 1.5 hours.
4. Fill with Mobil 1 and enjoy.
