MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Overflow Bottle Coolant Level
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 78.
Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maxi-
mum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).
The overflow bottle is
located under the hood.
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 operat-
ing range, lift the hood
and locate the over-
flow bottle lid.
Remove the cap and the rubber vented plug and use a fun-
nel to add coolant through the filler opening. Reinstall the
rubber vented plug and the cap.
Tip: If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs com-
pletely dry, there may be a leak in the system. Have the cooling
system inspected by your POLARIS dealer.
Radiator Cool-
ant Level
1. Lift the hood.
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.
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: 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.
5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure
cap will not allow the recovery system to function prop-
erly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.
