BREAI<-IN
Strict adherence to the following break-in proce-
dure will contribute to optimum performance and
the longevity of the Wankel engine.
Inform the customer that for the first 5 operating
hours (approximately 1 tank of fuel) the engine is
not to be subjected to heavy load conditions or full
throttle operation. During initial break-in or after
the engine is overhauled, a maximum of 1/ 2
throttle is recommended . Operating speeds are to
be varied, not constantly maintained for a
prolonged time.
II Note: During break-in or after the engine is
overhauled, the only fuel mixture to use and
recommend to the customer is a 25: 1 ratio.
After the customer operates the snowmobile for 5
hours (break-in), ask that the snowmobile be
IA-l0
returned to the dealership for a 5 hour mainte-
nance checkup. The cost of the checkup is
to be assumed by the customer. The checkup will
allow you, the Arctic dealer, to talk with the
customer and determine if a serious problem exists.
If the customer is dissatisfied, the problem may be
easier to remedy at this time rather than to allow
the snowmob ile to be operated until a possible
fa i lure occu rs. I f a defective part is fou nd at the 5
hour checkup and it is a warrantable component,
submit a warranty claim form through normal
Arctic channels (refer to the Warranty Policy and
Procedure Booklet). The customer is not to pay for
a warrantable component.
Arctic recommends that specific items be checked
at the 5 hour checkup. The specific items are
critical adjustments, operating characteristics, and
safety features (see 5 Hour Checkup, page I A-11 ).
