MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

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 133 for the part numbers of

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.

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

to function properly. If the pressure cap needs replacement, contact

your dealer for the correct part.
