OPERATION

Break-In Period

Engine Break-In

Always follow these recommended break-in procedures for new or
rebuilt engines. The first tank of fuel is considered the break-in period
for the engine.

Oil Recommendations

Engine lubrication comes from oil added to the fuel and oil injection
systems. Premix the first tank of fuel as outlined below. POLARIS rec-
ommends the use of POLARIS Premium 2-Cycle Semi-Synthetic Oil or
VES Gold Plus 2-Cycle Oil for this engine. See page 103 for the part
numbers of POLARIS products.

Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection
system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. Oils may also be
incompatible and the result could be sludge formation, filter blockage,
and reduced cold weather flow rates. All POLARIS oils are compatible
with each other.

Initial Fuel Premix

Always premix fuel in 5-gallon (19-liter) increments in a separate fuel
container. Never add oil directly to the fuel tank.
