VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD
2-Cycle Engines
The break in period for your new Polaris ATV is defined as the time it takes to use
the first tank of gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper
break in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient per-
formance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
CAUTION:
Use only Polaris injection oil. Never substitute or mix oil brands. Seri-
ous engine damage and voiding of warranty can result.
1.Mix 12.8 ounces of injection oil to four gallons (or 16 ounces to 5 gallons) of gaso-
line in a suitable gas can. Fill the fuel tank as outlined on pages 47 through 48.
2.Fill the oil tank with Polaris injection oil.
3.Drive slowly at first. Select an area which is open and will give you room to famil-
iarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
4.Vary the throttle positions.
CAUTION:
Do not operate at full throttle or high
speeds for extended periods during the first three hours of use. Excessive heat
can build up and cause damage to close fitted engine parts.
5.Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and all important areas on the
vehicle as outlined earlier on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist found on
page 14.
After the break in period the oil injection system provides the necessary engine lu-
brication without the need for pre-mixed fuel.
CAUTION:
To avoid serious engine
damage always fill the oil tank when refueling the ATV.
After the first tank of pre-mixed fuel has been used please verify that the oil
level in the oil tank has dropped, indicating that the oil pump is functioning
properly. If the level has not dropped, see your dealer for oil pump bleeding
and repeat the pre-mix procedure.
