Description:
2013 Arctic Cat 450 ATV Service Manual
A new ATV and an overhauled ATV engine require a “break-in” period.
The first 10 hours (or 200 miles) are most critical to the life of this ATV.
Proper operation during this break-in period will help assure maximum life and performance from the ATV. During the first 10 hours (or 200 miles) of operation, always use less than 1/2 throttle.
Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the components to “load” (aiding the 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.
Do not pull a trailer or carry heavy loads during the 10-hour break-in period. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly.
Idle the engine several minutes until the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time.
