MAINTENANCE
Overheating of engine could occur if air is not fully
purged from system.
Polaris Premium 60/40 anti-freeze is premixed and
ready to use. Do not dilute with water.
Coolant Strength / Type
Test the strength of the coolant using an antifreeze hydrometer.
A 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of antifreeze and distilled
water will provide the optimum cooling, corrosion
protection, and antifreeze protection.

impurities which build up in the system. Do not add
straight antifreeze or straight water to the system.
Straight water or antifreeze may cause the system to
freeze, corrode, or overheat.
