Radiator - Tracker Off-Road XTR1000 Service Manual

NOTE: Debris in the engine compartment or

packed between the cooling fins of the radiator can
reduce cooling capacity. Using a garden hose, wash
the radiator to remove any debris preventing air flow.
CAUTION
Do not use a pressure washer to clean the radiator core.
The pressure may bend or flatten the fins causing
restricted air flow, and electrical components on the
radiator could be damaged. Use only a garden hose
with spray nozzle at normal tap pressure.
Always maintain the coolant level at the cold full line of
the coolant reservoir.
Checking Coolant
1. Remove the hood; then inspect the coolant level
cold. The level shouldn't be lower than the cold full
line. When it's at operating temperature, the coolant
level may be above the cold full line.

Bleeding Cooling System
While the cooling system is being filled, air pockets may
develop; therefore, make sure the cooling system is prop-
erly bled, with no trapped air in the system.
1. Open the coolant bleeder valve and fill the coolant
reservoir to the full mark; then let it sit with the
bleeder valve open for at least 15 minutes.
XX455
2. Close the bleeder valve; then start the engine; then
check for any leaks and monitor the temperature of
the vehicle via the diagnostic menu. Run the vehicle
until the radiator fan cycles on and then off.
3. Turn the engine off and wait until engine is cool.
Add the recommended coolant/water mixture to fill
the coolant reservoir.
