OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating During Break-In

Engine
A break-in period of 10 operating hours
is required before running the vehicle
at sustained full throttle.
During this period, maximum throt-
tle should not exceed 3/4 opening.
However, brief full acceleration and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in. Continued wide open throt-
tle accelerations, prolonged cruising
speeds and engine overheating are
detrimental during the break-in period.
Belt
A new belt requires a break-in peri-
od of 50 km (30 miles). Avoid strong
acceleration/deceleration
speed cruising.
10-Hour Inspection
NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the vehicle owner.
We suggest that after the first 10 hours
or 30 days of operation, whichever
comes first, your vehicle be inspected
by an authorized Can-Am dealer. Re-
