MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Radiator Coolant

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

Polaris recommends that you drain the system completely every two

years and add a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water.
Replace the coolant any time the cooling system has been drained for

maintenance or repair. If the recovery bottle has run dry, check the level

in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.

CAUTION! Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap

while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before

removing the pressure cap.

1. Access the pressure cap under the

front box. See page 36.

2. Remove the pressure cap.
3. Using a funnel, slowly add cool-

ant through the radiator filler

neck.

4. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of

a non-standard pressure cap will

not allow the recovery system to

function properly. Contact your

dealer for the correct replacement

part.

5. Close and secure the front box and

cover.
