OPERATION
Vehicle Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new Polaris UTV is the first twenty hours
of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of
gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper
break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more
efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the
following procedures carefully.
Mixing oil brands or using non-recommended oil may cause engine
damage. If using non-recommended engine oil is determined to
have caused engine damage, repair and/or replacement will not be
covered under Polaris warranty.
We recommend the use of Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic
Oil or API certified "SH" oil. Never mix oil brands.
1. Fill the fuel tank with
either unleaded or leaded
fuel that has a minimum
pump octane number of
87= (R+ M)/2.
2. Check oil reservoir level
indicated on dipstick.
Add oil if necessary.
3. Drive slowly at first.
Select an open area that
will give you room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation
and handling.
4. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
Operating at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods
during the first three hours of use may cause excessive heat,
resulting in damage to close-fitted engine parts.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and other
important areas on the vehicle as outlined on the daily
pre-operation inspection checklist found on page 47.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Break in oil and filter. Change both at 25 hours.
