MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cooling System (RANGER 4X4, 6X6)
Operation
The engine coolant level is controlled or m aintained by the recovery
system. The recovery system components are the overflow bottle,
radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess coolant is forced o ut of the radiator, past the pressure cap , and
into the overflow 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 c oolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant
levels and maintain as r ecommended by adding coolant to
the overflow bottle.
Adding or Changing Coolant
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we
recommend that the system b e completely drained every two years and
a fresh mixture of antifreeze an d water added. Polaris recommends the
use o f Polaris Premium 6 0/40 anti-freeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture o f
high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/coolant and distilled
water. Polaris P remium 60/40 is already premixed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water. See page 99 for the part numbers of Polaris
products.
NOTE: Always follow the m anufacturer’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.
