--------------------------15

BREAK-IN PERIOD ______ _
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en-
gines, a break-in period
is required be-
fore running the vehicle at full throttle.
Engine manufacturer recommendation
is 10 to 15 operating hours. During this
period, a richer mixture
is needed (i.e.
40 parts of gas for 1 part of BLIZZARD
oil. Maximum throttle should not exceed
3/4, however, brief full acceleration and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in. Continued
wide open throttle
accelerations, prolonged cruising
speeds,
and lugging are detrimental during the
break-in period.
,.,. CAUTION: Remove and clean
T spark plugs after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in period
of 25 km (15 miles).
1 0-Hour inspection
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 inspection will give you the oppor-
tunity
to discuss the unanswered ques-
tions you may have encountered during
the first hours of operation.
The 10 hour inspection
is at the
expense of the vehicle owner.
