BREAK-IN PERIOD

Engine

A break-in period of 10 operating hours
is required before running the vehicle
at sustained full throttle.
CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel.
This vehicle has a 4-stroke engine.
Oil must be added to engine base
only.
During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 3/4. However, brief
full acceleration and speed variations
contribute to a good break-in. Contin-
ued wide open throttle accelerations,
prolonged cruising speeds and engine
overheating are detrimental during the
break-in period.

Belt

A new belt requires a break-in peri-
od of 50 km (30 mi). Avoid strong
acceleration/deceleration,
pulling a
load or high speed cruising.

10-Hour Inspection

NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the vehicle owner.
As with any precision piece of me-
chanical equipment,
we
suggest
that after the first 10 hours, 300 km
(185 mi) or 30 days after the purchase,
whichever comes first, your vehicle
be inspected by an authorized Can-Am
ATV distributor/dealer. This inspection
will give you the opportunity to dis-
cuss the unanswered questions you
may have encountered during the first
hours of operation.
