MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Overflow Bottle Coolant Level
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart beginning on page 59. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum
marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).
The overflow bottle is located in front of the right front wheel.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. View the coolant level in the overflow bottle.
3. If the coolant level is below the safe operating
range, lift the hood and locate the overflow bottle
lid. Remove the cap and use a funnel to add
coolant through the filler opening. Reinstall the
cap.
Tip: If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle
runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system.
Have the cooling system inspected by your POLARIS
dealer.
Radiator Coolant Level
1. Lift the hood.
CAUTION! Escaping steam can cause burns. Never
remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot.
Always allow the engine to cool before removing the
pressure cap.
2. Slowly remove the radiator cap.
3. View the coolant level through the opening.
4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.
Tip: This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or
repair. But if the overflow bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected.
5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the
recovery system to function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.
