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. Premix the

first tank of gasoline with one pint of Polaris injection oil for each five

gallons of fuel. This, in addition to the lubrication supplied by the

injection system, will assure proper engine break-in.

Never mix brands of two cycle oil. Serious chemical reactions

can cause injection system blockage, resulting in serious engine

damage and the voiding of engine warranty. The only oil

recommended for this system is Polaris injection oil. This oil

has been specially formulated for all temperatures and has

extreme cold flow characteristics.
Do not operate at prolonged full throttle for the first three hours

of operation. Vary the throttle openings and machine speeds to

reduce friction on all close fitting machined parts and allow them

to break in slowly without damage.
Adequate snow coverage is necessary to properly break in your

machine. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces, or

roads. Snow will provide the lubrication and cooling your

snowmobile needs for proper break-in. Inadequate cooling and

lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and track,

resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and

frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and

polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces.
Drive with extra caution during the break-in period. Perform

regular checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important

areas of the machine.
