components to “load” (aiding the engine/transmission compo- nent mating process) and then “unload” (allowing components to cool). Although it is essential to place some stress on the engine components during break-in, care should be taken not to overload the engine too often. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly. Idle the engine several minutes until the engine has reached normal operating tem- perature. Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time. ! CAUTION BRAKE PADS MUST BE BURNISHED TO ACHIEVE FULL BRA- KING EFFECTIVENESS. TO PROPERLY BURNISH THE BRAKES, USE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:
• Choose an area suffi ciently large to safely accelerate ATV to 50 km/h (30 mph) and to brake to a stop. • Accelerate to 50 km/h (30 mph); then compress brake lever to decelerate to 0-10 km/h (0-5 mph). • Repeat procedure 5 times until brakes are burnished. GENERAL INFORMATION ! WARNING Do not attempt sudden stops or put yourself into a situation where a sudden stop will be required until the brake pads are properly burnished. After the completion of the break-in period, the engine oil should be changed and the screen/fi lter should be cleaned. 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 Arctic Cat ATV dealer for this initial service. 71
