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 pro-
longed cruising without speed variations should be avoided, this can cause
engine damage during the break-in period.
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
A new drive 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 snowmobile owner.
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 unan-
swered questions you may have encountered during the first hours of operation.
