OPERATION WARNING Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in this owner's manual. Break-In Period The break-in period for your new vehicle is the first 50 hours of operation. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. New Engine Break-In 1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 36. 2. On the initial engine start-up, allow the engine to idle for approximately 15 minutes. Check for proper engine oil pressure, diesel fuel leaks, engine oil leaks, coolant leaks and proper operation of the indicators and gauges. 3. During the first hour of operation, vary engine speed and the load on the engine. Short periods of maximum engine speed and load are desirable. Avoid prolonged operation at minimum or maximum engine speeds and loads for the next 4 to 5 hours. 4. During the break-in period, carefully observe the engine oil pressure and engine temperature. 5. Check the engine oil and coolant levels frequently during the break-in period. Perform regular checks on areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 35. 6. Change both the oil and the filter at 50 hours. 7. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter. 8. Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter. See page 81. PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt) A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the breakin period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the engine compartment. 34

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or rollover,
which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in this
owner’s manual.
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new vehicle is the first 50 hours of operation. No single action
on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine
will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine.
New Engine Break-In
1.
Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 36.
2.
On the initial engine start-up, allow the engine to idle for approximately 15 minutes.
Check for proper engine oil pressure, diesel fuel leaks, engine oil leaks, coolant leaks
and proper operation of the indicators and gauges.
3.
During the first hour of operation, vary engine speed and the load on the engine. Short
periods of maximum engine speed and load are desirable. Avoid prolonged operation at
minimum or maximum engine speeds and loads for the next 4 to 5 hours.
4.
During the break-in period, carefully observe the engine oil pressure and engine
temperature.
5.
Check the engine oil and coolant levels frequently during the break-in period. Perform
regular checks on areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 35.
6.
