ENGINE BREAK-IN
(Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
Models)
The Arctic Cat engine (when new or
rebuilt) requires a short break-in period
before the engine is subjected to heavy
load conditions.
This engine does not require any pre-
mixed fuel during the break-in period.
CAUTION
DO NOT use premixed fuel in the
snowmobile gas tank. Engine dam-
age will occur.
To ensure trouble-free operation, care-
ful adherence to the following break-in
guidelines will be beneficial.
0-200 miles 1/2 Throttle (45 MPH-max)
200-400 miles 1/2-3/4 Throttle
400-600 miles 1/2-3/4 Throttle *
* With occasional full-throttle operation.
To ensure proper engine break-in, Arc-
tic Cat recommends that the engine oil
and filter be changed after 500 miles.
This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.

DRIVE BELT BREAK-IN

Drive belts require a break-in period of
approximately 25 miles. Drive the
snowmobile for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle
or less. By revving the engine up and
down (but not exceeding 60 mph), the
exposed cord on the side of a new belt
will be worn down. This will allow the
drive belt to gain its optimum flexibil-
ity and will extend drive belt life.
 NOTE: Before starting the snow-
mobile in extremely cold tempera-
tures, the drive belt should be
removed and warmed up to room
temperature. Once the drive belt is
at room temperature, install the
drive belt (see Drive Belt sub-sec-
tion in the Maintenance section of
this manual).
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive
belt removed. Excessive revving of
the engine could result in serious
engine damage and drive clutch
failure.
