Tracker Off-Road 600 - Engine Break-In

49
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
gas tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak
onto the engine creating a fire hazard.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after
filling the tank.
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
ATV is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5%
methanol are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
The recommended oil to use is ACX All
Weather Synthetic engine oil, which has
been specifically formulated for use in
this engine. Although ACX All Weather
Synthetic engine oil is the only oil recom-
mended for use in this engine, use of any
API-certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.
OILCHARTJ
Recommended Front
Differential and Transaxle
Lubricants
 NOTE: The manufacturer recom-
mends the use of genuine lubricants.
The recommended front differential
lubricant is SAE-approved 80W-90 hyp-
oid. This lubricant meets all the lubrica-

requirements of the transaxle.
Engine Break-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 checking of all
prescribed adjustments and tightening of
all fasteners. At the discretion and
expense of the owner/operator, the ATV
may be taken to an authorized dealer for
this initial service
New ATVs and renewed ATV engines
require a “break-in” period. The first
month is most critical to the life of this
ATV. Proper operation during this break-
in period will help ensure maximum life
and performance from the ATV.
