POWER STEERING UNIT
If your model is equipped with power steering, frequently clean the areas around
and on the power steering unit to allow proper cooling. Clean these areas
thoroughly.
STEERING ASSEMBLY
The steering assembly of the ATV should be checked periodically for loose nuts
and bolts. If loose nuts and bolts are found, see your POLARIS dealer or other
qualified service facility before operating the vehicle.
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
page 153 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
RECOVERY BOTTLE COOLANT
The recovery bottle fluid level can be viewed from inside the front right wheel
well. Access the recovery bottle cap under the front box.
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.
