OPERATION Break-In Period Careful treatment of a new engine and transmission will result in more efficient performance and longer life for both. The break-in period for your new Polaris Predator is defined as the first one hour of operation, or the time it takes to use the first full tank of gasoline. Follow the break-in period with an additional two hours of cautious operation. No single action on your part is as important as following the procedures for a proper break-in. Perform the following procedures carefully. CAUTION Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation may damage close-fitted engine and transmission parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first three hours of use. 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. 66
