OPERATION
Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,
accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and
understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s
manual.
Vehicle Break-in Period
The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours
of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gaso-
line. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in
period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will
result in more efficient performance and longer life for these compo-
nents. Perform the following procedures carefully.
NOTICE:
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will
damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not
operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three hours of
use.
Use of any oils other than those recommended by POLARIS may
cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of POLARIS
PS-4 oils for your 4-cycle engine.
