OPERATION Engine Break-In No single action on your part is as important to long, trouble-free machine life as proper break-in of a new or rebuilt engine. During the first three hours of operation, operate the snowmobile as outlined in the Engine Break-In section. CAUTION Failure to follow the procedures outlined in the Engine Break-In section of the owner's manual could result in serious damage to the snowmobile. Follow all procedures as outlined. Avoid Heat Build-Up Excessive heat build-up during the first few hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first 100 miles (160 km)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. Perform Fluid Checks Perform regular checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important areas of the machine. Perform the first oil and filter change at 1000 miles (1600 km). See page 87. 62
