Break-In
Procedure
A

ATV

ATV
eng
i
ne
requ
ire a
“break-in
”
period.
Th
e
first
10
hours
(or
200
miles)
are most
critical
to
the
life
of
this
ATV.
Proper
operation during
this
break-in
period
will
help
assure
maximum
life
and
performance
from
the
ATV.
During the first 10 hours (or 200 miles) of
operation, always use less than 1/2 throttle.
Varying the engine RPM during the break-in
period allows the components to “load” (aiding
the mating process) and then “unload” (allowing
components to cool). Although it is essential to
place some stress on the engine components
during break-in, care should be taken not to
overload the engine too often. Do not pull a
trailer or carry heavy loads during the 10-hour
break-in period.
When
the
e
ngine
starts,
al
low
it
to
warm
up
properly. Idle
t
h
e
engine
several
mi
nutes
until
the
engine
has reached
norma
l
op
e
rating
te
mperature.
Do
not
idle
the engine
for
excessively
long
periods
of
time.
During
the
break-in
period,
a
maximum
of
1/2
throttle is
recommended;
however,
brief
full-
throttle
acceleratio
ns
and
v
ariati
ons
in
driving
speeds
contribute
to good engin
e
bre
a
k-in.
After
the
completion
of
the
break-in
period,
the
engine
oil
and
oil filter
should
be
changed.
Other
maintenance after
break-in
should
include
check
i
ng
of
all
pre- scribed
a
djustments
and
tightening
of
all
fasten
e
rs.

GASOLINE
The
recommended
gaso
line
to
use
is
87
minimum
octane
regu
lar
unleaded.
In
many
a
reas,
oxyg
e
n
ate
s (either
ethanol
or
MTBE)
are
added
to
the
gasoline. Oxygenated
gasolines
conta

ng
up
to
10%
ethano
l,
5%
methane,
or
5%
MTBE
a
r
e
acc
eptable gasolines.
When
using
ethanol
blended
gasoline,
it
is
not
necessary
to
add
a
gasoline
antifreeze
since
ethanol
will
prevent
the
accumulation
of
moisture
in
the
fuel
system.
