GENERAL MAINTENANCE
COOLING SYSTEM
Inspection
Your UXV450i has a liquid-cooled engine and periodically you
should inspect the level of the fluid in the coolant reservoir and the
external condition of the radiator.
Inspect and adjust the fluid level in the coolant reservoir using the
following procedure:
1. Open the hood
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the engine
is cold as the level will vary with changes in engine temperature. The
coolant level should be between the FULL and LOW marks on the
reservoir
3. If the fluid level is low, add coolant or distilled water to raise it up
the to FULL level
■NOTE: If you have to add water to your UTV coolant,
have your KYMCO dealer inspect the coolant as soon
as possible to determine if it is in good condition.

Hard water, tap water, or salt water is harmful the
engine and the cooling system components. Always
use distilled water or pre-mixed coolant (50:50 ratio)
when adding fluid to the coolant reservoir.
Periodically inspect the external condition of the radiator and the
coolant hoses. Look for leaks or damage on the cooling fins of the
radiator.
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is
warm. The coolant in the radiator is very hot and under
pressure and can cause severe burns.
■ NOTE: Dirt and debris must be cleaned from the
radiator's fins regularly to ensure proper engine
oil cooling.
Operating your UTV with high engine temperature may
result in engine damage or premature wear.

Decreasing engine RPM, reducing load, and
selecting an appropriate transmission gear can
