OPERATION

Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new Polaris snowmobile is the first 500

miles (800 km) of operation. No single action on your part is as impor-

tant as following the procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment

of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient per-

formance and longer life for these components.

NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first 500 miles (800 km) of

operation will damage close-fitting engine parts. Do not operate at full

throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the break-in

period.
Use of non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage.

Always use the recommended oil for your Polaris snowmobile.

1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 78.
2. Check the oil level in the oil tank. See page 90. Add oil if necessary

to maintain at the recommended level.

3. Drive slowly at first. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at

sustained idle.

4. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 64.

5. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 500

miles or before seasonal storage, whichever comes first.
