Operation; Engine Break-In - Polaris Widetrak LX Owner's Manual

OPERATION

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 gasoline with one pint of Polaris injection oil for each five
gallons of fuel. This, in addition to the lubrication supplied by the injec-
tion system, will assure proper engine break-in.
NOTICE: 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 openings
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.
