MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Coolant
The coolant supplied in the system at the factory is a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene-glycol and distilled water, which will provide adequate freeze
protection under most conditions. If the vehicle will be stored or
operated at extremely low temperatures, greater protection may be
required. Please see your POLARIS dealer.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.
This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with
water. See page 149 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and
may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system.
Coolant Level
The engine coolant level is
controlled by the recovery system.
The recovery system components
are:
• Coolant bottle/overflow tank
• Pressure cap
• Connecting hoses
Always maintain the coolant level
at or slightly above the FULL
COLD mark on the coolant bottle
(when the engine is cold).
1. Stop the engine.
2. Open
the right side panel.
3. View the coolant level in the
coolant bottle.
4. Add coolant as needed.
NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in
overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant
level as recommended.
