BREAK-IN PERIOD
Operation During Break-In
A break-in period of 10 operating hours
or 500 km (300 mi) is required for the
vehicle.
After the break-in period, the vehicle
should be inspected by an authorized
Lynx dealer, repair shop or person of
your own choosing. Refer to
MAINTE-
NANCE section.
Engine
During the break-in period:
– Avoid prolonged full throttle opera-
tion.
– Avoid sustained accelerations.
– Avoid prolonged cruising speeds.
– Avoid engine overheating.
However, brief accelerations and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in.
During the first few hours of break-in,
the engine management system con-
trols some engine parameters which
will slightly reduce the engine perfor-
mance.
During break-in period, maximum
throttle should not exceed 3/4 open-
ing. However, brief full acceleration
and speed variations contribute to a
good break-in.
CAUTION Engine overheat-
ing, continued wide open throttle
runs and prolonged cruising without
speed variations should be avoided,
this can cause engine damage dur-
ing the break-in period.
E-TEC Models
During a predetermined period, the
engine management system controls
some engine parameters.
The duration is based on fuel volume.
It will take approximately two fuel
tanks to complete the break-in.
During this period:
– The engine performance and behav-
ior will not be optimal.
– The fuel and oil consumption will be
higher.
Drive Belt
A new drive belt requires a break in pe-
riod of 50 km (30 mi).
During the break-in period:
– Avoid strong acceleration and decel-
eration.
– Avoid pulling a load.
– Avoid high speed cruising.
10-Hour Inspection
NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
As with any precision piece of me-
chanical equipment, we suggest that
after the first 10 hours of operation or
500 km, whichever comes first, your
snowmobile be checked by an autho-
rized LYNX dealer. This inspection will
also give you the opportunity to dis-
cuss the unanswered questions you
may have encountered during the first
hours of operation.
