OPERATION
Engine Break-In
No single action on your part is as important to long, trouble-free
machine life as proper break-in of a new or rebuilt engine. During the
first three hours of operation, operate the snowmobile as outlined in the
Engine Break-In section.
Avoid Heat Build-Up
Excessive heat build-up during the first few hours of operation will
damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high
speeds for extended periods during the first 100 miles (160 km)of use.
Vary the throttle openings and machine speeds to reduce friction on all
close-fitting machined parts, allowing them to break in slowly without
damage.
Perform Fluid Checks
Perform regular checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important
areas of the machine. Perform the first oil and filter change at 1000
miles (1600 km). See page 87.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the procedures outlined in the Engine Break-In
section of the owner’s manual could result in serious damage to
the snowmobile. Follow all procedures as outlined.
