Maintenance Torque Stop Adjustment Engine Isolator Limiter Setting Some models use an engine mount strap isolator. The isolator is located on left-front corner of the bulkhead. The isolator should not make contact with the engine strap. If the isolator requires adjustment or replacement, hold the isolator so it is against the bracket, then torque the nut to specification.
Severe burns to skin may occur from escaping coolant or steam. Recommended Coolant EV ASSEMBLY Use Polaris Premium 60 / 40 pre-mix antifreeze. This premium GASKET antifreeze is rated for temperatures down to -62°F (-52°C). Cooling System Bleeding Remove the vent hose from the EV base fitting.

CHASSIS POWER-UP PRIME PLUG (2- WIRE CONNECTOR) Some models are equipped with Polaris electric reverse control (PERC). The operation of the electronic reverse system is achieved by automatically reversing the engine rotation with a push of a button. When in reverse you will have an indicator light that will flash, notifying you that the machine is in the reverse mode.
Altitude Setting If your engine is carbureted, you can adjust the elevation setting of the Polaris electric reverse control (PERC). If your engine is a Cleanfire system, this is automatically done through the engine controller unit (ECU), and you do not need to do any setting.
