OPERATION
Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,
accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and
understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s
manual.
Vehicle Break-in Period
The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is defined as 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 a proper break-in period.
Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in
more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Per-
form the following procedures carefully.
NOTICE: 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.
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious
engine damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute or
mix oil brands.
