OPERATION

Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new Polaris ATV is the first ten hours of

operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of gasoline.

No single action on your part is as important as following the

procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine

and drive components will result in more efficient performance and

longer life for these components.

NOTE: Install the accessory oil cooler if the ATV will be used for

towing heavy loads, dragging ground surfaces or performing

similar activities. Install the accessory oil cooler if the ATV

will be operating longer than 1/2 hour in temperatures above

100° F. (38° C).

CAUTION

Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation

will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do

not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three

hours of use.
