OPERATION

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,
accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and
understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s
manual.

Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new POLARIS RANGER is the first twenty
hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of
gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-
in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following pro-
cedures carefully.

NOTICE: 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.
