Engine Break-In; Drive Belt Break-In; Speedometer/Tachometer/Digital Gauge - Arctic Cat Lynx2000 2020 Operator's Manual

Also, if the snowmobile is to remain on a
trailer after filling the gas tank, the bed of
the trailer must be maintained level to
prevent gasoline from draining out
through the gas tank vent hose.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
snowmobile gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.

Engine Break-In

Before mixing gasoline and oil, make sure
the oil is at room temperature (20° C/68° F).
Use a U.L.-approved 6 U.S. gal. (22.7 L)
gasoline container for mixing the gasoline
and oil. To properly mix the fuel at a 100:1
ratio, use the following procedure:
CAUTION
Never mix oil and gasoline in the
snowmobile gas tank.
1. Pour gasoline into the gasoline con-
tainer until approximately half full.
2. Pour 236 ml (8 fl oz) of the recom-
mended 2-cycle oil into the gasoline
container.
3. Install cap on gasoline container and
shake the mixture vigorously.
4. Fill the gasoline container with gaso-
line; then cap the gasoline container
and shake the mixture vigorously.
5. Using a fine-mesh screened funnel,
pour the fuel mixture from the gaso-
line container into the snowmobile
gas tank.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-
tilated area. Never add gasoline to the
snowmobile gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO
NOT SMOKE while mixing fuel or fill-
ing the gas tank.

Drive Belt Break-In

Drive belts require a break-in period of
40 km (25 miles). Drive the snowmobile
for 40 km (25 miles) at 3/4 throttle or
less. By revving the engine up and down,
but not exceeding 96 km/h (60 mph), the
exposed cord on the side of a new belt
will be worn down. This will allow the
drive belt to gain its optimum flexibility
and will extend drive belt life.

NOTE: Before starting the snowmo-
bile in extremely cold temperatures, the
drive belt should be removed and
warmed up to room temperature. Once
the drive belt is at room temperature,
install the drive belt.
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive
belt removed. Excessive revving of
the engine could result in serious
engine damage and drive clutch fail-
ure.
