MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Coolant High Temperature Indicator Light

The high temperature indicator light will illuminate when engine cool-

ant temperature becomes too hot for safe continued operation of the

engine. If you must drive your machine after the high temperature indi-

cator light has come on, drive slowly and stop frequently to allow the

engine to cool down. Driving in deep snow will also help cool the

engine. See your dealer for service. Add coolant if the level is low.

NOTE: Engine performance will be reduced if you continue operating

when the high temperature light is on.

Flushing the Cooling System

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine,

drain the system completely every two years and add a fresh mixture of

antifreeze and distilled water. This service must be performed when the

engine is cold. Ask your Polaris dealer to check the coolant when he

performs the fall tune-up on your snowmobile.

WARNING

Steam and hot liquids will cause serious burns to your skin. Never remove

the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot.
