Recommended Coolant
Use only high quality antifreeze/coolant mixed with
distilled water in a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio, depending on
freeze protection required in your area. CAUTION: Using
tap water in the cooling system will lead to a buildup of
deposits which may restrict coolant flow and reduce heat
dissipation, resulting in possible engine damage. Polaris
Premium 60/40 Antifreeze/Coolant is recommended for
use in all cooling systems and comes pre-mixed, ready
to use.
