Cooling System (WideTrak)
The cooling system on liquid cooled models consists of the following
major components:
Coolant bottle
Water pump
Cylinders
•Heads
Inlet and outlet manifolds
Pressure cap
Heat exchangers
Coolant
The coolant supplied in the system at the factory is a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene-glycol and distilled water, which will provide adequate freeze
protection under most conditions. If the vehicle will be stored or oper-
ated at extremely low temperatures, greater protection may be required.
Please see your Polaris dealer.
When adding or changing coolant, Polaris recommends using Premium
60/40 anti-freeze coolant, which is already premixed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/40% water
mixture. See page 128 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
NOTE: Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause
deposits and may react adversely with the metals in the engine
and cooling system.
