Cooling System
Coolant
The coolant supplied in the system at the factory is a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene-glycol and distilled water, which will provide adequate freeze
protection under most conditions. If the vehicle will be stored or
operated at extremely low temperatures, greater protection may be
required. Please see your POLARIS dealer.
When adding or changing coolant, POLARIS recommends using
POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 Premix, which is already premixed and
ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/
40% water mixture. See page 122 for POLARIS products.
Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and
may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system.
Coolant Level
The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The
recovery system components are:
• Coolant bottle/overflow tank
• Pressure cap
• Connecting hoses
Always maintain the coolant level at or
slightly above the FULL COLD mark on
the coolant bottle (when the engine is
cold).
1. Stop the engine.
2. Open the right side panel.
3. View the coolant level in the coolant
bottle.
4. Add coolant as needed.
NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in
overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant
level as recommended.
