8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or
one month.
9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.
PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES / BELT)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and
from the engine compartment.
STANDARD BREAK-IN
Drive at slower speeds for the first 50 miles (80 km) of operation. Carry only light
loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged
operation at a specific RPM during this period.
SAND / DUNE / MUD BREAK-IN
Drive in low gear for the first 5 miles (8 km) of operation. Avoid prolonged low
speed operation at high throttle. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed
operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle is in safe operating condition before
operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the vehicle before
each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.
