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.

Premix the first tank of fuel and fill the oil reservoir as outlined below.
Oil added to the fuel and oil injection systems will provide the necessary
engine lubrication.

See page 115 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.
