MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery

system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the

radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)

excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and

into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the

contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the

pressure cap, and into the radiator.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is

purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as

recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Premium 60/40 anti-freeze/cool-

ant or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/

coolant and distilled water. Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed

and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 111 for the part

numbers of Polaris products.
Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the

freeze protection required in your area.

Recovery Bottle Coolant

The recovery bottle is located on

the left side of the vehicle.
1. Maintain the coolant level

between the minimum and

maximum marks on the bottle

(when the fluid is cool).

2. Add coolant as needed.
