PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)
Always break in the clutches and drive belt of new vehicles, as well as after a
belt replacement.
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower
speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Polaris recommends using fresh Unleaded 87 Octane TOP TIER DETERGENT
GASOLINE® containing up to 10% ethanol purchased during the season of
vehicle usage. This fuel will provide the best engine performance (starting, run
quality, fuel economy, and power) and durability.
Octane Rating
Polaris recommends a minimum of 87 Octane (R+M/2) rated gasoline. Using
lower octane gasoline could result in engine damage.
Ethanol Content
Polaris recommends gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol (E10). Higher levels
of ethanol (ex. E15 and E85) may result in engine damage.
Detergent Gasoline
Polaris recommends TOP TIER DETERGENT GASOLINE® to keep the engine
cleaner by reducing carbon deposits, which will help maintain engine
performance and durability. Refer to www.toptiergas.com for a list of TOP TIER
DETERGENT GASOLINE® retailers. Alternatively, the logo shown below on the
retailer’s fuel pump will confirm that TOP TIER DETERGENT GASOLINE® is
being dispensed.
If TOP TIER DETERGENT GASOLINE® is not available, adding Polaris Carbon
Clean to the fuel tank at every oil change will help reduce carbon deposits.
