Engine Break In Period
The break in period for aPolaris ATV engine is defined
as the first ten hours of operation, or the time it takes
to use two full tanks 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 performance and longer life for the engine.
Perform the following procedures carefully.
Use only Polaris Premium 0--40W All Season
synthetic oil or equivalent. Never substitute or
mix oil brands. Serious engine damage and
voiding of warranty can result.
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.
CAUTION
