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 the safety section of this owner's manual. Break-In Period The break-in period for your new POLARIS RANGER is the first twenty hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. 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. Perform the following procedures carefully. NOTICE: 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. Engine and Drivetrain Break-in 1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Heed the gasoline warnings on page 18. 2. Check the oil level. See page 62. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the normal (safe) operating range. 3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling. 4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle. 5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 36. 6. Pull only light loads. 7. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter. 8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours. 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 clutch air duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt. See page 71. 35
