RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL / CHANGING COOLANT
This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for
maintenance and/or repair.
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.
1. Remove the hood. See page 38.
2. Slowly remove the radiator pressure cap

3. View the coolant level
w
through the side of the pressure tank.
4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.
5. Before reinstalling the pressure cap, bleed the system of trapped air. Locate
the coolant bleed screw on the engine above the exhaust head pipe on the
power take- off side. Use a socket wrench to turn the bleed screw slightly,
allowing the air to escape. Slowly add additional coolant to the pressure tank
until air no longer escapes and only coolant flows from the bleed hole, then
tighten the bleed screw.
6. Reinstall the pressure cap.
TIP
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to
function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the correct replacement
part.
