Vehicle Break-In Period OPERATION The break-in period for your new Polaris RANGER is the first twenty hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully. CAUTION Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first three hours of use. Use of any oils other than those recommended by Polaris may cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris Premium 4 Synthetic Oil for your 4-cycle engine. 1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Heed the gasoline warnings on page 22. 2. Check the oil level on the dipstick. See page 61. Add Polaris Premium 4 Synthetic Oil if necessary to maintain the oil level in the normal (safe) operating range. 3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling. 4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle. 5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 34. 6. Pull only light loads. 7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours. 33
