COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION

q
The pressure cap and recovery bottle
under the front hood of the vehicle. The coolant level
must be maintained between the minimum and
maximum levels indicated on the recovery bottle.
With the engine at operating temperature, the coolant
level should be between the upper and lower marks on
the coolant recovery bottle. If not, perform the following
procedure:
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the hood from the front cab.
3. View the coolant level in the recovery bottle.
4. If the coolant level is below the MIN line, inspect the
coolant level in the radiator.
NOTE
If overheating is evident, allow system to cool
completely and check coolant level in the radiator and
inspect for signs of trapped air in system.
WARNING
Never remove the pressure cap when the engine is
warm or hot. Escaping steam can cause severe burns.
The engine must be cool before removing the pressure
cap.
5. Remove the pressure cap. Using a funnel, add
coolant to the top of the filler neck.
6. Reinstall the pressure cap.
NOTE
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the
recovery system to function properly.
7. Remove recovery bottle cap and add coolant using a
funnel.

8. Fill recovery bottle to MAX level with Polaris 50/50
Extended Life Anti Freeze/Coolant as required for
w
are located
freeze protection in your area.
9. Reinstall the recovery bottle cap.
10. If coolant was required, start engine and check for
leaks. Make sure radiator fins are clean to prevent
overheating.

COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST

Refer to Chapter 3 for cooling system pressure test
procedure.

COOLANT STRENGTH / TYPE

Test the strength of the coolant using an antifreeze
hydrometer.
• A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water will
provide the optimum cooling, corrosion protection, and
antifreeze protection.
• Do not use tap water, straight antifreeze, or straight
water in the system. Tap water contains minerals and
impurities which build up in the system.
• Straight water or antifreeze may cause the system to
freeze, corrode, or overheat.
