MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Cooling System (Magnum 500)
Coolant Level
The recovery bottle (1) is located on the
left side of the machine. To access the
recovery bottle, remove the left side
panel. See page 120.
The fluid level must be maintained
between the minimum and maximum
marks on the bottle (when the fluid is
cool).
The engine coolant level is controlled or
maintained by the recovery system. The recovery system components
are the recovery bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and
connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and
into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is normal, as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and
maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
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. See page 130 for the
part numbers of Polaris products.
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.
