BREAK-IN PERIOD _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en-
gines, a break-in period is required be-
fore running the vehicle at full throttle.
Engine's manufacturer recommendation
is 10 to 15 operating hours. During this
period, maximum throttle should not ex-
ceed
3/4,
however, brief full acceleration
and speed variations contribute to a
good break-in. Continued wide open
throttle accelerations, prolonged cruising
speeds, and lugging are detrimental dur-
ing the break-in period.

NOTE: To assure additional pro-
tection during the initial engine
break-in, 500 ml (18 imp. oz.) of BLIZ-
ZARD OIL should be added to fuel for
the first full fuel tank filling.

spark plugs after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in
period of 25 km (15 miles).
10-Hour Inspection
As with any precision piece of mechan-
ical equipement, we suggest that after
the first 10 hours of operation or 30
days after the purchase, whichever
comes first, your vehicle be checked by
your dealer. This inspection will give you
the opportunity to discuss the un-
answered questions you may have en-
countered during the first hours of oper-
ation. Remember that it is easier to re-
medy at this time than to allow the
snowmobile to operate until a possible
failure occurs.
The 10 hour inspection is at the ex-
pense of the vehicle owner.
