MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Flushing the Cooling System

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, the

system should be completely drained every two years and a fresh mix-

ture of antifreeze and distilled water should be added. Have your Polaris

dealer perform this service.

Bleeding the Cooling System

Bleed the cooling system at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Main-

tenance Table beginning on page 91. In addition, bleed the cooling sys-

tem any time one or more of the following conditions exist.
• A component of the cooling system has been serviced or replaced

(including coolers, radiator, engine, coolant lines and oil cooler)

• A cooling system failure occurs, resulting in coolant loss
• A coolant line has been disconnected for any reason
• A coolant leak occurs
