OPERATION
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new Polaris Quadricycle is 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 will increase the life and perfor-
mance of your Quadricycle more than following the procedures for a
proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive compo-
nents will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these
components.
Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during
the first three hours of use.
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 28.
2. Check the engine oil level. See page 70. Add oil if necessary.
3. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with
vehicle operation and handling.
4. Drive slowly. Vary the 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 43.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Change the oil and filter at one month.
PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)
