OPERATION Break-In Period Engine Break-In 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 vehicle speeds to reduce friction on all closefitting 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 snowmobile. Oil Injection System Always check and fill the oil bottle when refueling. See page 65. NOTICE: Serious engine damage can occur without the proper lubrication. Check the oil bottle level often during the first tank of fuel. If the oil level doesn't go down, contact your dealer immediately. Drive Belt Break-In The break-in period for a new drive belt is 30 miles (48 km). During this time, vary the throttle position under 50% and limit full throttle use. Always take time to warm up the belt and driveline prior to operating the snowmobile. Free the track and skis from the ground before engaging throttle. 61
