OVERFLOW BOTTLE COOLANT LEVEL
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and
maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Remove the hood. See page 56.
4. View the coolant level in the overflow bottle.
5. If the coolant level is below the safe operating range, make sure the pressure
cap is securely installed before adding coolant to the overflow bottle.
NOTE
Always add coolant through the bottle filler opening, not through the radiator
pressure cap opening.
6. Reinstall the coolant bottle cap.
TIP
If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely dry,
there may be a leak in the system. Your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified
person, can inspect the cooling system.
RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL
Check the radiator coolant level ONLY if the overflow bottle is dry. If the overflow
bottle contains fluid, the radiator level should NOT be inspected.
TIP
If the overflow bottle runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system.
Your POLARIS dealer, or other authorized, can inspect the cooling system.
1. Remove the hood. See page 56.
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. If the overflow bottle is dry, slowly remove the radiator pressure cap.
