engines,

before running the vehicle

a break-in period is required

at full
throttle. Engine's manufacturer recom­mendation is 10to 15 operating hours.
During this period, a richer mixture is
needed (i.e. 40 parts of gas for 1 part of

in.

Continued wide open throttle accelera­tions, prolonged cruising speeds, and
lugging are detrimental during the
break-in period.

As

with

any precision piece of mechan­ical equipment, we suggest that after
the first 10 hours of operation or 30
days after the purchase, whichever
comes first, that your vehicle be
checked by your dealer. This inspec-

tion will give you the opportunity

to

discuss the unanswered questions you
may have encountered during the first

hours of operation

Remember that it

is easier to remedy at this time than to
allow the snowmobile to operate until
a possible failure occurs.

The 10 hours inspection

is at the ex

pense of the vehicle owner.
