MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Radiator and Cooling Fan

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals
outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 81. Do
not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling
fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and
consequent engine damage.

NOTICE: Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the

radiator fins and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-
pressure system is not recommended.

Radiator Coolant Level

This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained
for maintenance and/or repair. But if the overflow bottle has run dry, the
level in the radiator should also be inspected.

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. Remove the front box

cover and access panel.
See page 26.

2. Slowly remove the

radiator cap.

3. View the coolant level

through the opening.

4. Use a funnel and slowly

add coolant as needed.

Tip: Use of a non-standard

pressure cap will not allow
the recovery system to
function properly. See your
POLARIS dealer for the
correct replacement part.
