Break-In Period - Polaris Predator Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Break-In Period

Careful treatment of a new engine and transmission will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for both. The break-in period for your new Polaris Predator is
defined as the first one hour of operation (followed by an additional two hours of cautious
operation), or the time it takes to use the first full tank of gasoline. No single action on
your part is as important as following the procedures for a proper break-in. Perform the
following procedures carefully.
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation may damage
close-fitted engine and transmission parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds
for extended periods during the first three hours of use.
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.
