Break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 500 km (300 mi). For this reason, you should read the following material carefully. Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 500 km (300 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged fullthrottle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided. Operating your snowmobile for the first time Start the engine and let it idle for 15 minutes. 0-160 km (0-100 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 r/min. 160-500 km (100-300 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 8000 r/min. Turn the main switch to the start position. Warm up the engine until it does not run roughly. 33
