... SPRITE DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS rT''HE importance of runningin the new vehicle cannot be too ^ highly stressed. Beyond all doubt the owner or operator will find that careful, considerate treatment during the vital runningin period will be fully compensated by the resulting dependability and efficiency that will be obtained throughout its life. RUNNING-IN The following speeds should not be exceeded in the gears for the first 500 miles (800 kilometres): 1st 2nd 3rd top 7 15 25 40 m.p.h, 10 24 40 64 k.p.h. It is most important to remember that at no time during the runningin period must the engine be overloaded, as in attempting to ascend hills in top gear at low vehicle speed. The load should be eased by changing down to a lower gear. Fierce acceleration must also be avoided, and remember that the engine should never be raced in neutral. On completion of the first 500 miles (800 km.) the runningin speed may be progressively increased, but full power should not be used until at least 1,500 miles (2,400 km.) have been covered, and even then only for short periods at a time. During this mileage a slight fallingolf in engine power may develop, in which case it is beneficial to lightly grindin the valves and reset the valve clearances. No engine or complete vehicle can be considered fully runin until it achieves 2-3,000 miles ...
