BREAK-IN PERIOD

Engine

A break-in period of 10 operating hours
is required before running the vehicle
at sustained full throttle.

CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel.
This vehicle has a 4-stroke engine.
Oil must be added to engine base
only.

During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 3/4. However, brief
full acceleration and speed variations
contribute to a good break-in. Contin-
ued wide open throttle accelerations,
prolonged cruising speeds and engine
overheating are detrimental during the
break-in period.

Belt

A new belt requires a break-in peri-
od of 50 km (30 mi). Avoid strong
acceleration/deceleration,

pulling

a

load or high speed cruising.

10-Hour Inspection

NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the vehicle owner.

As with any precision piece of me-
chanical

equipment,

we

suggest

that after the first 10 hours, 200 km
(125 mi) or 30 days after the pur-
chase, whichever comes first, your
vehicle be inspected by an authorized
Can-Am dealer. This inspection will
give you the opportunity to discuss the
unanswered questions you may have
encountered during the first hours of
operation.
