OPERATION
Break -In Period
Careful treatment of a new engine and transmission will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for both. The break-in period for your new Polaris Predator is
defined as the first one hour of operation, or the time it takes to use the first full tank of
gasoline. Follow the break-in period with an additional two hours of cautious operation.
No single action on your part is as important as following the procedures for a proper
break-in. Perform the following procedures carefully.
CAUTION
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation may damage
close-fitted engine and transmission parts. Do not operate at full throttle or h igh
speeds for extended periods during the first three hours o f use.
Use of any lubricants other than those recommended by Polaris may cause serious
engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris lubricants for your vehicle.
