Default Gear Break In

BREAK IN

Ring and pinion sets require a brief break in period in order to ensure long life
and quiet operation. The following procedure is required to maintain any and all warranties
that apply:

1.
Bring the axle to normal operating temperature by driving the vehicle
unloaded for
approximately 20 miles. Do not accelerate hard or create unnecessary shock loads.

2.
Let the axle cool completely.

3.
Operate the vehicle normally for the next 200 miles. Do not haul heavy loads or tow
heavy trailer during this period.

4.
For
towing usage, operate the vehicle with the trailer for about 20 miles, and let the axle
cool completely.

5.
Avoid constant heavy towing until a total of 500 miles has been driven on the new axle.

CAUTION: Following these break in procedures can extend the life of your
ring and pinion.



Enjoy your ProRock 44!!
