6-10 Operation
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in
the life of your ATV than the period
between 0 and 25 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully
read the following material. Because the
engine is brand new, you must not put an
excessive load on it for the first several
hours of operation.
During the first 25 hours, the various parts
in the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating tolerances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might
result in excessive engine heating must be
avoided.
However, momentary (2-3 seconds
maximum) full throttle operation under load
will not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest
period for the engine by cruising at lower
rpms so the engine can rid itself of the
temporary build up of heat. If any
abnormality is noticed during this period,
consult a dealer.
0-10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half
throttle. Allow a cooling off period of five to
ten minutes after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the ATV from time to
time. Do not operate it at one set throttle
position.
