Engine Cooling

Bleeding the Cooling System

3. Tip the snowmobile slightly onto its right side. Cycle the RPM

from idle to enough RPM (4000) to get coolant to flow, but not

enough to engage the clutch. This allows air to bleed from the rear

crossover tube.

NOTE: There must be enough coolant flow to purge the air from the

crossover hose or rear cooler so you can observe this air

reaching the bottle.

4. Tilt the machine slightly onto its left side so that the coolant bottle

is the highest point in the cooling system. Cycle the RPM as

outlined in step 3.

NOTE: There must be enough coolant flow to purge the air from the

front close-off cooler so you can observe the air reaching the

bottle.

5. Return the snowmobile to its upright position and loosen the bleed

screw at the top of the water outlet manifold. When all trapped air

has been purged, tighten the screw.

6. Turn off the engine and release the parking brake. Allow the

system to cool completely.

NOTE: After cool-down, three (3) or more ounces of coolant may

have to be added.

7. Remove the pressure cap and check the coolant level. Add coolant

to the fill line if necessary.
