Break-in period question

What is the standard amount of mile to have before you can open this vehicle up without worrying about damaging the engine?

I believe the manual suggests 1,000 miles.

do not surpass 4 rpms until 1000 miles, then gradually go up, it is also advised that you dont use the manumatic shifter

Thanks! Especially the advise about the manual shifter...

so ... when is it safe to open the machine up with no worries?
