Coolant
The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of
ethylene-glycol and distilled water. This mixture provides protection
against freezing. Contact your dealer if greater protection is required.
Use 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 108 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.
n Coo lan t 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
S Connecting hoses
Always maintain the coolant level between the minimum and
maximum marks on the coolant bottle (when engine is cold) to prevent
overheating and serious engine damage.
CAUTION
Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in
overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the
coolant level as recommended.
