BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
CAUTION: A break-in period of 10 operating hours — 500 km
(300 miles) — is required before running the snowmobile at full
throttle.
During break-in period, maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4.
However, brief full acceleration and speed variations contribute to
a good break-in.
CAUTION:
Engine overheating, continued wide open throttle
runs and prolonged cruising without speed variations should be
avoided, this can cause engine damage during the break-in pe-
riod.
All Models except 4-TEC
To assure additional protection during the initial engine break-in,
500 mL (18 imp. oz) of recommended injection oil should be added
to fuel for the first full filling of fuel tank. Have spark plugs cleaned
after engine break-in.
Belt
All Models
A new drive belt requires a break-in period of 50 km (30 miles). Avoid
strong acceleration/deceleration, pulling a load or high speed cruis-
ing.
10-Hour Inspection
As with any precision piece of mechanical equipment, we suggest
that after the first 10 hours of operation — 500 km (300 miles) — or
30 days after the purchase, whichever comes first, your snowmobile
be checked by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. This inspection will
also give you the opportunity to discuss the unanswered questions
you may have encountered during the first hours of operation.
The 10-hour inspection is at the expense of the snowmobile
owner.
