MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Radiator Coolant

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine,

Polaris recommends that you drain the system completely every two

years and add a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water.
Replace the coolant any time the cooling system has been drained for

maintenance or repair. If the recovery bottle has run dry, check the level

in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.

1. Open the front box cover.
2. Using the tool provided,

remove the four screws

securing the front compart-

ment to the vehicle.

3. Place your fingers under the

front of the compartment and

pull upward to remove it.

4. Remove the pressure cap.
5. Using a funnel, slowly add

coolant through the radiator

filler neck.

6. Reinstall the pressure cap.

NOTE:

Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system

to function properly. Contact your dealer for the correct replacement

part.

7. Reinstall the front compartment.
8. Secure the box cover.

WARNING

Escaping steam can cause severe burns. Never remove the pressure cap

while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before

removing the pressure cap.
