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.
Always premix the initial fuel and future fuel. See page 57.
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. Vary the
throttle openings and machine speeds to reduce friction on all close-
fitting machined parts, allowing them to break in slowly without
damage.
NOTICE: Use of any lubricants other than those recommended by POLARIS
may cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of
POLARIS lubricants for your vehicle.
Drive with extra caution during the break-in period. Perform regular
checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important areas of the
machine.
