Cooling System - Polaris UTV 2x4 Series 11 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Cooling System

Operation
The overflow bottle (1) is located
in front of the right front tire of the
vehicle. The coolant level must be
maintained between the minimum
and maximum marks on the
overflow bottle.
The engine coolant level is
controlled or maintained by the
1
recovery system. The recovery
system components are the
overflow bottle, radiator filler
neck, radiator pressure cap and
connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and
into the overflow bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and
maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the overflow bottle.
Adding or Changing Coolant
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine,
the system be completely drained every two years, and a fresh mixture
of antifreeze and water should be added.
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Premium 60/40
anti-freeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum
compatible anti-freeze/coolant and distilled water. See page 98 for the
part numbers of Polaris-recommended products.
NOTE: Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations
for the freeze protection required in your area.
