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.
