OPERATION

Vehicle Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new Polaris RANGER is the first twenty

hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of

gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper

break-in period. C areful treatment of a new engine will result in more

efficient performance and l onger life for the engine. Perform the

following procedures carefully.

CAUTION

Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation

will damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full

throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first three

hours of use.

Use of any oils other than those recommended by Polaris may

cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of

Polaris Premium 4 Synthetic Oil for your 4-cycle engine.

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Heed the gasoline warnings on

page 22.

2. Check the oil level on the dipstick. See page 61. Add Polaris

Premium 4 Synthetic Oil if necessary to maintain the oil level in

the normal (safe) operating range.

3. Drive slowly at first. S elect an open area that allows room to

familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 33.

6. Pull only light loads.

7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25

hours.
