Break-In Period

Oil Injection System

Always check and fill the oil tank when refueling. See page 53.
NOTICE: Serious engine damage can occur without the proper lubrication.
Check the oil tank level often during the first tank of fuel. If the oil level
doesn't go down, contact your dealer immediately.

Oil Recommendations

Engine lubrication comes from oil added to the fuel and oil injection
systems. POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Premium 2-
Cycle Semi-Synthetic Oil or VES Gold Plus 2-Cycle Oil for this engine.
See page 102 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection
system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. Oils may also be
incompatible and the result could be sludge formation, filter blockage,
and reduced cold weather flow rates. All POLARIS oils are compatible
with each other.

Drive Belt Break-In

The break-in period for a new drive belt is 30 miles (48 km). During this
time, vary the throttle position under 50% and limit full throttle use.
New drive belts should be washed with warm, soapy water and allowed
to air dry prior to use.
Always take time to warm up the belt and driveline prior to operating
the snowmobile. Free the track and skis from the ground before engag-
ing throttle.
