Operation

Failure to operate the ATV properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn, which

may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety

section of this owner’s manual.

Break-in Period

The break-in period for your new Polaris 4-cycle ATV is defined as the first ten hours of

operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of gasoline. No single action on

your part is as important as following the procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment

of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Per-

form the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted

engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the

first three hours of use.
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage. Always

use the recommended oil. Never substitute or mix oil brands.
