Cooling System
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 110 for the part numbers of Polaris prod-
ucts.
TIP: Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and
may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system.
n
Coolant Level
The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The
recovery system components are:
• Coolant bottle or overflow tank
• Filler neck
• Pressure cap
• 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.
NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in over-
heating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant
level as recommended.
