OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating During Break-In
Engine
A break-in period of 10 operating hours or 300 km is required before running the vehicle at sustained full throttle.
During this period, 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 engine overheating are detrimental during the break-in period.
NOTICE Do not hold the engine start button more than 30 seconds.
A rest period should be observed between the cranking cycles to let the starter cool down. Pay attention not to discharge the battery.
Release the engine start button immediately when the engine has started.
NOTE: If the battery is dead, engine cannot be started. Have the battery recharged or replaced.
Belt
A new belt requires a break-in period of 50 km. Avoid strong acceleration/ deceleration, pulling a load or high speed cruising.
Shifting the Transmission
Let engine idle to warm up.
Apply brakes and select the desired gear range, H or L.
NOTE: The brake must be applied when the transmission lever is engaged in the park position.
Release brakes.
10-Hour Inspection
We suggest that after the first 10 hours or 300 km of operation, whichever comes first, your vehicle be inspected by an authorized Can-Am dealer. Refer to
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
section.
NOTICE Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before operating the vehicle.
Starting the Engine
The transmission lever must be on
PARK or NEUTRAL to allow engine to start.
Gradually press the throttle lever to increase engine speed and thus engaging the continuously variable transmission (CVT).
At the opposite, when the throttle lever is released, the engine speed decreases.
NOTE: For your convenience, an override mode allows the engine to be started with the transmission lever in any position. Press and hold the brake lever or the brake pedal while pressing the engine start button.
Using the Reverse
NOTICE When changing from forward to reverse, or vice-versa, always completely stop the vehicle and apply the brake prior to moving the transmission lever.
Insert key in ignition switch and turn to
ON position.
Place the engine stop switch to RUN.
Press the engine start button and hold until the engine starts.
