MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Radiator and Cooling Fan
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-
lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 58. Do not
obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-
rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-
ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and
consequent engine damage.
Coolant Level
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 58. Maintain the coolant
level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when
the fluid is cool).
The overflow bottle is located in front of
the right front wheel.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. View the coolant level in the overflow
bottle.
3. If the coolant level is below the safe
operating range, lift the hood and
locate the overflow bottle lid. Remove
the lid and use a funnel to add coolant
through the filler opening. Reinstall
the cap.
NOTE: If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely
dry, there may be a leak in the system. Have the cooling system
inspected by your Polaris dealer.
CAUTION
Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator
fins and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is
not recommended.
