MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Radiator and Cooling Fan

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-

lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 58. Do not

obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-

rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-

ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and

consequent engine damage.

Coolant Level

Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 58. 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 lid and use a funnel to add coolant

through the filler opening. Reinstall

the cap.

NOTE:

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.

CAUTION

Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator

fins and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is

not recommended.
