General Information

Break In Procedure
A new ATV and an overhauled ATV engine require a "break-in" period. The first 10 hours
(or 200 miles) are most critical to the life of this ATV. Proper operation during this break-in
period will help assure maximum life and performance from the ATV.
During the first 10 hours (or 200 miles) of operation, always use less than 1/2 throttle.
Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the components to "load" (aiding
the mating process) and then "unload" (allowing components to cool). Although it is
essential to place some stress on the engine components during break-in. care should be
taken not to overload the engine too often. Do not pull a trailer or carry heavy loads during
the 10-hour break-in period.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly. Idle the engine several minutes until
the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Do not idle the engine for
excessively long periods of time
During the break-in period, a maximum of 1/2 throttle is recommended: however, brief full-
throttle accelerations and variations in driving speeds contribute to good engine break-in.
After the completion of the break-in period, the engine oil and oil filter should be changed
Other maintenance after break-in should include checking of all pre- scribed adjustments
and tightening of all fasteners.
Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane regular unleaded. In many areas,
oxygenates (either ethanol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gas
containing up to 10% ethanol, 5% methane, or 5% MTBE are acceptable gas.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze since
ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
