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
period.
All Models except SDI Engine Equipped Models
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
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 or 500 km (300 miles),
whichever comes first, your snowmobile be checked by an au-
thorized 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.
