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 open-
ing. 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 avoid-
ed, this can cause engine damage
during the break-in period.
500SS and 800R Engine Only
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, 500 mL
(18 imp. oz) of recommended injec-
tion 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 pe-
riod 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 me-
chanical 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 authorized SKI-DOO dealer. This in-
spection will also give you the opportu-
nity to discuss the unanswered ques-
tions you may have encountered dur-
ing the first hours of operation.
