Break-in period
Engine
IMPORTANT
A break-in period of 10-15 hours (about 500 km) is required for Rotax engines
before running the snowmobile at full throttle.
During break-in period, maximum throttle should not exceed ¾. However, brief full
acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.
All models except 4-tec and 2-tec SDI models: To assure additional protecti-
on during the initial engine break-in, 500 ml of recommended injection oil should
be added to fuel for the first full filling of fuel tank.
(P/N 1471599, 20x1l). Have spark plugs cleaned after engine break-in.
Drive Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in period of 50 km. Avoid strong acceleration/
deceleration, pulling a load or high speed cruising.
10 Hour Inspection
We suggest that after the first 10 hours of operation 500 km or 30 days after
the purchase, whichever comes first, your snowmobile be checked by an autho-
rized Lynx dealer.
NOTE! The 10 hour inspection is at expense of the snowmobile owner.
Pre oparation check
* Remove snow and ice from body including seat, footrests, lights, controls and
instruments.
* Verify that track and idler wheels are not frozen and free to turn.
* Activate the brake control and make sure the brake fully applies before the
brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It must fully return when re-
leased.
* Check the parking device. Apply parking brake and check if it operates easily
and smoothly.
* Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it operates easily
and smoothly.
* Check operation of ignition switch, headlamp switch, taillight, brake light, pilot
lamps and tether/cut-out switches.
* Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding action of
skis versus handlebar.
