The recommended
break-in period is the time required to use the first full tank of
pre-mixed fuel.
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
vehicle
speeds to reduce friction on all close-fitting machined
parts, allowing them to break in slowly without damage.
The engine management
system utilizes both a fuel injector break-in period and oil pump
enrichment program. The duration of
these break-in programs is independent of each other
and is timed out based on engine run time. Regardless of these automatic
engine break-in and enrichment features, the following
engine break-in procedures must be performed when the engine is new
or overhauled.
| NOTE |
| During this period of increased oiling, sled performance will not
be affected and you should ride normally. |

Premix the first
tank of fuel and fill the oil reservoir as outlined below. Oil added
to the fuel and oil injection systems
will provide the necessary engine lubrication.
| Oil Recommendations |
| First Tank
of Fuel: |
POLARIS VES 2-Cycle Oil |
| After Break-in: |
POLARIS VES 2-Cycle Oil |
| Extreme
Arctic Conditions, sustained temperature is at or below -40° F (-40°
C) |
VES RACE 2-Cycle Oil |
See the POLARIS
products section for the part numbers.
Never mix brands
of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection system blockage,
resulting in serious engine damage.
Oils may also be incompatible and the result could
be sludge formation, filter blockage, and reduced cold weather flow
rates.
All POLARIS oils are compatible with each other.
Initial Fuel Premix
Always premix fuel
in 5-gallon (19-liter) increments in a separate fuel container. Never
add oil directly to the fuel tank.

| NOTICE |
| 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 snowmobile.
