MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Radiator and Cooling Fan
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-
lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 60. Do not
obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-
rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-
ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and
consequent engine damage.
Coolant Level
Always check and change the
coolant at the intervals outlined
in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart beginning on page 60.
Maintain the coolant level
between the minimum and
maximum marks on the bottle
(when the fluid is cool).
The overflow bottle is located
in front of the right front
wheel.
1. Position the vehicle on a
level surface.
2. View the coolant level in
the overflow bottle.
3. If the coolant level is
below the safe operating
range, lift the hood and
locate the overflow bottle
lid. Remove the lid and use
a funnel to add coolant
through the filler opening.
Reinstall the cap.
NOTE: If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely
dry, there may be a leak in the system. Have the cooling system
inspected by your Polaris dealer.
CAUTION
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.
