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 oil tank only.
During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 1/2 to 3/4 open-
ing. However, brief full acceleration
and speed variations contribute to a
good break-in. Continued wide open
throttle accelerations, prolonged cruis-
ing speeds and engine overheating are
detrimental during the break-in period.
5-Hour Engine Oil and
Filter Replacement
The Can-Am DS 450/X is the most ad-
vanced sport ATV and it has been de-
signed using the latest technology all
the way down to its synthetic multi-
layer oil filter and break-in oil. To main-
tain the DS 450/X at the highest lev-
el of performance, change the engine
break-in oil and filter after using 3 fuel
tanks or 5 hours of riding (whichev-
er comes first). Contact an autho-
rized Can-Am dealer for more details.
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 or 400 km
(250 mi) after the purchase, whichever
comes first, your vehicle be inspect-
ed by an authorized Can-Am dealer.
This inspection will give you the op-
portunity to discuss the unanswered
questions you may have encountered
during the first hours of operation.
