MAINTENANCE
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 138 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
Recovery Bottle Coolant
Some coolant level drop on new
machines is normal, as the sys-
tem is purging itself of trapped
air. Add coolant as needed.
Check the coolant level in the
radiator any time the recovery
bottle has run dry. Add coolant as
needed.
1. Check the coolant level when
the fluid is cool.
2. Remove the left side panel.
See page 100.
3. View the coolant level.
Maintain the coolant level
between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the
fluid is cool).
4. Add coolant as needed.
5. Reinstall the side panel.
