MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Cooling System
Coolant Level
The recovery bottle, located on
the left side of the machine,
must be maintained between the
minimum and maximum levels
indicated on the recovery bottle.
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
coolant is forced out of the engine past the pressure cap and into the
recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle 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 t he recovery bottle.
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.
NOTE: Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water.
NOTE: Always follow t he manufacturer’s mixing recommendations
for the freeze protection required in your area.
To access the recovery bottle on Gen IV machines it is necessary to
remove the left side panel as described on page 102.
