Starting A Warm Engine; Engine Break-In - Polaris 600 Fusion Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Starting the Engine

Starting a Warm Engine

1. Turn the key to the ON position.
2. Pull the engine stop switch up to the RUN position.
3. Grasp the recoil rope handle and pull slowly until the recoil
engages; then pull abruptly.
If the engine does not start on the first pull, slightly depress the throttle
with your left hand (no more than 1/4I open), and pull the rope with
your right hand. When the engine starts, immediately release the throt-
tle.

Engine Break-In

No single action on your part is as important to long, trouble-free
machine life as proper break-in of a new or rebuilt engine. Premix the
first tank of fuel with one pint of Polaris injection oil for each five gal-
lons of fuel. This, in addition to the lubrication supplied by the injection
system, will assure proper engine break-in.
CAUTION
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage
close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for
extended periods during the first three hours of use. Vary the throttle open-
ings and machine speeds to reduce friction on all close-fitting machined
parts, allowing them to break in slowly without damage.
Use of any lubricants other than those recommended by Polaris may cause
serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris lubricants for
your vehicle.
Drive with extra caution during the break-in period. Perform regular checks
on fluid levels, lines, and all other important areas of the machine.
