Break-in Period

The break in period for your new Polaris ATV is the length of time it takes to use the first

tank of gas. 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. Perform the following procedures carefully.

1. Mix 6.4 ounces of recommended oil to two gallons of gasoline in an appropriate gas

container and fill the fuel tank as outlined on pages 86-87. NOTE: After the break-in

period the oil injection system provides the necessary engine lubrication without the

need for pre-mixed fuel.

CAUTION

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.
Use of any lubricants other than those recommended by Polaris may cause serious

engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris lubricants for your vehicle.
