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.
1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 87.
2. Check the oil level in the oil tank. See page 102. Add oil if neces-
sary 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 72.
5. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 500
miles or before seasonal storage, whichever comes first.
CAUTION
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.
