General Maintenance

Coolant Level

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The

recovery system components are:
S

Coolant bottle or overflow tank

S

Engine filler neck

S

Pressure cap (on some models)

S

Connecting hoses

Flushing the Cooling System

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine,

the system should be completely drained every two years and a fresh

50/50 or 60/40 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water should be

added. This service must be done when the engine is cold. Ask your

Polaris dealer to check the coolant when he performs the fall tune-up

on your snowmobile.

Bleeding the Cooling System

Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system

to function properly. If the pressure cap needs replacement, contact

your dealer for the correct part.

Steam and hot liquids will cause serious burns to your skin.

Never bleed the cooling system or remove the pressure cap

when the engine is warm or hot.
