General Maintenance

Coolant

The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of

ethylene-glycol and distilled water. This mixture provides protection

against freezing. Contact your dealer if greater protection is required.
Use Premium 60/40 anti-freeze coolant, which is already premixed and

ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60%

antifreeze/40% water mixture. See page 108 for the part numbers of

Polaris products.

NOTE: Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause

deposits and may react adversely with the metals in the

engine and cooling system.

Coolant Level

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The

recovery system components are:
S

S

Engine filler neck

S

Pressure cap

S

Connecting hoses

Always maintain the coolant level between the minimum and

maximum marks on the coolant bottle (when engine is cold) to prevent

overheating and serious engine damage.

CAUTION

Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in

overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the

coolant level as recommended.
