MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Engine Cooling System

Radiator Coolant Level Inspection

Lift the hood and locate the

radiator cap(1) and visually

inspect the level of coolant in the

radiator..
NOTE: This procedure is only

required if the cooling system has

been drained for maintenance

and/or repair. However, if the

overflow bottle has run dry, the

level in the radiator should be

inspected and coolant added if

necessary.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the

recovery system to function properly. If the cap should need

replacement contact your dealer for the correct replacement part.

Changing the Coolant

To insure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, it

is recommended that the system be completely drained every two years

and a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water be added. Polaris

recommends the use of Polaris Premium 60/40 anti-freeze/coolant or a

50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/coolant

and distilled water. NOTE: Polaris Premium 60/40 is already

premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. NOTE:

Always follow the manufacturer’s mixing recommendations for the

freeze protection required in your area.
Using a funnel, slowly add coolant as necessary.

Never remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot.

Escaping steam can cause severe burns. The engine must be

cool before removing the pressure cap.
