DRIVE BELT BREAK-IN
The break-in period for a new drive belt is 30 miles (48 km). During this time,
vary the throttle position under 50% and limit full throttle use.
New drive belts should be washed with warm, soapy water and allowed to air dry
prior to use.
Always take time to warm up the belt and driveline prior to operating the
snowmobile. Free the track and skis from the ground before engaging throttle.
TRACK BREAK-IN
A new track will stretch during its break-in period. A typical track will be properly
broken-in between 250-500 miles (400-800 km).
IMPORTANT
Track break-in time is dependent on track type, riding style, and whether your
snowmobile is equipped with studs.
During the track break-in period, Polaris recommends checking track tension
after every completed riding day when the track is new. See Maintenance
chapter for more information.
