MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATIO N
Engine Cooling System
Coolant
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we
recommend that the system be completely drained every two years and
a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water added. Polaris recommends the
use of Polaris Premium 60/40 anti-freeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture of
high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/coolant and distilled
water. Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water. See page 116 for t he part numbers of Polaris
products.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer’s mixing recommendations
for the freeze protection required in your area.
Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or
repair, replace the coolant. If the recovery bottle has run dry, the level
in the radiator should be inspected. Add coolant as needed.
