During the break-in period, a maximum
of 1/2 throttle is recommended; however,
brief full-throttle accelerations and varia-
tions in driving speeds contribute to good
engine break-in. After one (1) tankful
break-in period, the snowmobile may be
taken to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for a checkup. This
checkup is at the discretion and the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
1100 cc Models
This engine does not require any pre-
mixed fuel during the break-in period.
To ensure trouble-free operation, careful
adherence to the following break-in
guidelines will be beneficial.
* With occasional full-throttle operation.
To ensure proper engine break-in, Arctic
Cat recommends that the engine oil and
filter be changed after 500 miles. This
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
Drive Belt Break-In
Drive belts require a break-in period of
approximately 25 miles. Drive the snow-
mobile for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less.
By revving the engine up and down (but
not exceeding 60 mph), the exposed cord
on the side of a new belt will be worn
down. This will allow the drive belt to
gain its optimum flexibility and will
extend drive belt life.
NOTE: Before starting the snowmo-
bile in extremely cold temperatures,
the drive belt should be removed and
warmed up to room temperature.
Once the drive belt is at room temper-
ature, install the drive belt (see Drive
Belt sub-section in the Maintenance
section).
Cold Drive-Away
Function (1100 cc
Models)
On these models, there is a “cold drive-
away” function incorporated within the
engine.
NOTE: On models with a Standard
Gauge when cold-starting the
engine, the coolant temperature
warning icon will illuminate and the
readout screen will display TEMP.
With the engine in this temperature
range, the RPM “limit” of the engine
will be below drive system engage-
ment speed. As the engine warms,
the TEMP display will go out, the
coolant temperature warning icon
will begin to flash, and the RPM
“limit” of the engine will increase
allowing the snowmobile to move
without full-throttle operation. When
the engine reaches proper operating
temperature, the coolant tempera-
ture warning icon will go out.
CAUTION
DO NOT exceed the one (1) tankful
limitation of a 100:1 gas/oil break-in
mixture. Continuous use of a gas/oil
mixture, unless consistently operat-
ing in extremely cold conditions (-
26°C/-15°F or colder), could cause
spark plug fouling and excessive car-
bon buildup. A 100:1 gas/oil mixture
must be used in conjunction with the
oil-injection system to ensure ade-
quate engine lubrication in extremely
cold conditions.
CAUTION
DO NOT use premixed fuel in the
snowmobile gas tank. Engine dam-
age will occur.
0-200 miles
1/2 Throttle (45 MPH-max)
200-400 miles 1/2-3/4 Throttle
400-600 miles 1/2-3/4 Throttle *
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive
belt removed. Excessive revving of
the engine could result in serious
engine damage and drive clutch fail-
ure.
