MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,
replace the coolant with a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water. Drain
the cooling system every two years. Add fresh coolant.
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 premixed and
ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 116 for the part num-
bers of Polaris products.
Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the
freeze protection required in your area.
Recovery Bottle Coolant
Some coolant level drop on new machines is
normal, as the system is purging itself of trapped
air. Add coolant as needed.
Tip: Check the coolant level in the radiator any time
the recovery bottle has run dry.
1. Check the coolant level when the
fluid is cool. Maintain the coolant
level between the minimum and max-
imum marks on the bottle (when the
fluid is cool).
2. Remove the left side panel. See page
82.
3. View the coolant level.
4. Add coolant as needed.
5. Reinstall the side panel.
