BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
A break-in period of 10 operating hours
is required before running the vehicle
at sustained full throttle.
CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel.
This vehicle has a 4-stroke engine.
Oil must be added to engine base
only.
During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 3/4. However, brief
full acceleration and speed variations
contribute to a good break-in. Contin-
ued wide open throttle accelerations,
prolonged cruising speeds and engine
overheating are detrimental during the
break-in period.
Belt
A new belt requires a break-in period
of 50 km (30 miles). Avoid strong
acceleration/deceleration,
pulling
a
load or high speed cruising.
10-Hour Inspection
NOTE:
The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the vehicle owner.
As with any precision piece of me-
chanical
equipment,
we
suggest
that after the first 10 hours, 300 km
(185 mi) or 30 days after the pur-
chase, whichever comes first, your
vehicle be inspected by an authorized
Can-Am dealer. This inspection will
give you the opportunity to discuss the
unanswered questions you may have
encountered during the first hours of
operation.
