General Maintenance
Coolant L evel
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
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 t h e 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.
WARNING
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.
