MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Cooling System
Coolant Level
The recovery bottle (1) is located on the
left side of th e machine. To access the
recovery bottle, remove the l eft side panel
as outlined on page 93.
The fluid level must be maintained
between the minimum and maximum
marks on the bottle (when the fluid is
cool).
The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery
system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle,
radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess c oolant is forced ou t of the radiator, past the pressure cap, a nd
into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is normal, as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and
maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Premium 60/40
anti-freeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture of h igh quality aluminum
compatible anti-freeze/cool ant and distilled water. See page 117 for the
part numbers of Polaris-recommended products.
NOTE: Polaris Premium 60 /40 is already premi xed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer’s mixing recommendations
for the freeze protection required in your area.
