MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Radiator Coolant
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine,
POLARIS recommends that you drain the system completely every two
years and add a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water.
Replace the coolant any time the cooling system has been drained for
maintenance or repair. If the recovery bottle has run dry, check the level
in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.
Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the
engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the
pressure cap.
1. Remove the front rack.
2. Remove the pressure cap.
3. Using a funnel, slowly add coolant
through the radiator filler neck.
4. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a
non-standard pressure cap will not
allow the recovery system to func-
tion properly. Contact your dealer
for the correct replacement part.
5. Reinstall the front rack.
