Break-in Period
The break in period for your new Polaris ATV is t he length of time it takes to use the first
tank of gas. No single action on your part is as important as following the procedures for a
proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
1. Mix 6.4 ounces of recommended oil to two gallons of gasoline in an appropriate gas
container and fill the fuel tank as outlined on pages 86-87. NOTE: After the break-in
period the oil injection system provides the necessary engine lubrication without the
need fo r pre-mixed fuel.
CAUTION
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted
engine parts. D o not operate at full throttle or high s peeds for extended per iods during
the first three hours of use.
Use of any lubricants other than those recommended by Polaris may cause serious
engine damage. We recommend the use of P olaris lubricants for y our vehicle.
