OPERATION
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new Polaris 4-cycle ATV is defined as the
first ten hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full
tanks of gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as
following the procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment of a
new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for
the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
CAUTION
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation
will damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full
throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first three
hours of use.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause
serious engine damage. Never substitute or mix oil brands.
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See page 43.
2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to
maintain the oil level in the proper range. See page 71.
3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to
familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined
on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 47.
6. Pull only light loads (if equipped with a hitch).
7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 20
hours, 200 miles or one month, whichever comes first. See page
71.
