Cooling System
Overflow Bottle Coolant Level
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals
outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning
on page 43. Maintain the coolant level between the min-
imum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the
fluid is cool).
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Lift the hood. View the coolant level in the over-
flow bottle.
3. If the coolant level is below the safe operating
range, lift the hood and locate the overflow bottle
lid. Remove the cap and use a funnel to add coolant
through the filler opening. Reinstall the cap.
Tip: 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.
Radiator Coolant Level
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart
beginning on page 43. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow
through the radiator by installing unauthorized accesso-
ries in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to over-
heating and consequentially, engine damage.
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 recov-
ery system to function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.
