COOLING SYSTEM
The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system.
The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck,
the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess
coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery
bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled)
coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the pressure cap, and into the
radiator.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging
itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by
adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
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
the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.
RECOVERY BOTTLE COOLANT
The recovery bottle fluid level can be accessed from the front left wheel well.
1. View the fluid level in the
bottle.
2. If the level is low, remove
the bottle cap and add
coolant as needed.
Maintain the coolant level
between the minimum and
maximum marks on the
bottle (when the fluid is
cool).
3. Reinstall the cap.
4. Close and secure the front box and cover.
RADIATOR COOLANT
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we
recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh
Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.
Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,
replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. If the recovery bottle has
run dry, check the level in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.
