Break-In Period - BOMBARDIER Ski-Doo T'NT 294 1973 Owner's Manual

12
With Ski-Doo snowmobile engines, a
break-in period IS required before run-
ning the vehicle at full throttle Manu-
facturer's recommendation for the
Bombardier-Rotax engine is 10 to 15
operating hours During this period,
maximum throttle should not exceed %
However, brief full accelerations and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-In Continued wide open throttle
accelerations, prolonged ' cruising'
speeds and lugging are detrimental dur-
ing the break-In period
Inspection
After the break-In period. we suggest
that each Ski-Doo snowmobile has an
inspection check This inspection is at
the discretion and expense of the ve-
hicle owner
Fuel Tank Quantity
Check that there is sufficient fuel in the
tank for your trip A good habit to ac-
qurre
is to refill the tank before starting
out each day
Since mixed fuel has a tendency to
settle overnight, agitate the fuel
In
the
tank by standing on the footboards and
rocking the vehicle from side to side
Track (Daily, before first run)
Under certain climatic conditions, the
track of a snowmobile left outdoors
overnight may freeze to the ground or
snow surface Always make sure that
the track is free before attempting to
start the vehicle (This procedure will
eliminate unnecessary drive belt wear)
Steering Operation
Check operation of steering mechanism
by rotating the handlebar several times
from side to Side If roughness or bind-
ing IS felt, check for ice or snow that
may be blocking the mechanism
