OPERATION
Starting the Engine
Starting a Warm Engine
1. Turn key to ON.
2. Pull kill switch (shut-off switch) up to RUN.
3. Grasp starter handle and pull slowly until recoil engages; then pull
to start.
If the engine does not start on the first pull, slightly depress the throttle
with your left hand (no more than 1/4″ open), and pull the rope with
your right hand. When the engine starts, immediately release the
throttle.
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.
CAUTION
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will
damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or
high speeds for extended periods during the first three hours 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.
Use of any lubricants other than those recommended by Polaris
may cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of
Polaris lubricants for your vehicle.
Drive with extra caution during the break-in period. Perform regular
checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important areas of the
machine.
