BREAK-IN
There is never a more important period in the
life of your engine than the period between 0
and 500 km (300 mi). For this reason, you
should read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an ex-
cessive load on it for the first 500 km (300 mi).
The various parts in the engine wear and polish
themselves to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle opera-
tion or any condition that might result in engine
overheating must be avoided.
Operating your snowmobile for the first time
Start the engine and let it idle for 15 minutes.
0 – 160 km (0 – 100 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6,000 r/min.
160 – 500 km (100 – 300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8,000 r/min.
500 km (300 mi) and beyond
