COOLANT LEVEL
INSPECTION
WARNING
Never remove the radiator pressure cap when the
engine is warm or hot. Escaping steam and fluid can
cause severe burns. The engine must be allowed to
cool before removing the pressure cap.
The recovery bottle (A), located on the left side of the
machine, must be maintained between the minimum
and maximum levels.
With the engine at operating temperature, the coolant
level should be between the upper and lower marks
on the coolant reservoir. If it is not:
1. Remove reservoir cap. Verify the inner splash
cap vent hole is clear and open.
2. Fill reservoir to upper mark with Polaris Premium
60/40 Anti Freeze / Coolant (PN 2871323) or a
mixture of antifreeze and distilled water as
required for freeze protection in your area.
3. Reinstall cap.
NOTE: If overheating is evident, allow system to cool
completely and check coolant level in the radiator.
Inspect for signs of trapped air in system.
RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL
INSPECTION
NOTE: This procedure is only required if the cooling
system has been drained for maintenance and/or
repair. However, if the recovery bottle has run dry, or
if overheating is evident, the level in the radiator
should be inspected and coolant added if necessary.
Never remove the radiator pressure cap when the
engine is warm or hot. Escaping steam and fluid can
cause severe burns. The engine must be allowed to
cool before removing the pressure cap.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not
allow the recovery system to function properly.
