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 and

pull open the access door.

2. Remove the pressure cap.

3. Using a funnel, slowly add

coolant through the radiator
filler neck.

4. Reinstall the pressure cap.

5. Secure the access door.

6. Secure the box cover.

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.

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.
