General Maintenance

Coolant

The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of ethylene-glycol

and distilled water. This mixture provides protection against freezing.

Contact your dealer if greater protection is required.

Use Premium 60/40 anti-freeze coolant, which is already premixed and

ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/

40% water mixture. See page 124 for Polaris products.

NOTE: Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause

deposits and may react adversely with the metals in the engine

and cooling system.

Coolant Level

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The

recovery system components are:
• Coolant bottle or overflow tank
• Engine filler neck
• Pressure cap
• Connecting hoses

Always maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum

marks on the coolant bottle (when engine is cold) to prevent overheating

and serious engine damage.

CAUTION

Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in overheating

and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant level as recom-

mended.
