PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
New UTVs and renewed UTV engines require a "break-in" period. The first month is most critical to the life of your UTV's
engine, and proper operation during this break-in period will help assure maximum life and performance from your UTV.
During your UTV's first ten hours of operation, always use a light throttle, keeping engine RPM well below the maximum.
Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the engine and transmission components to mate together so they
will operate smoothly in the future. Applying some higher engine RPM's and other loads during the break-in period is not
detrimental when done in moderation. Do not pull a trailer or haul very heavy cargo loads during the break-in period.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly. Permit the engine to idle for several minutes until the it has reached
normal operating temperature. However, do not allow the engine to idle for excessively long periods of time, as this additional
heat can affect future engine integrity.
