Cooling System
Overflow Bottle Coolant Level
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart beginning on page 50. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum
marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).
The overflow bottle is located under the hood.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. View the coolant level in the overflow bottle.
3. If the coolant level is below the safe operating range,
lift the hood and locate the overflow bottle lid.
Remove the cap and use a funnel to add coolant
through the filler opening. Reinstall the cap.
Tip:
If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle
runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system.
Have the cooling system inspected by your POLARIS
dealer.
Radiator Coolant Level
1. Lift the hood.
CAUTION!
Escaping steam can cause burns. Never
remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or
hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing
the pressure cap.
2. Slowly remove the radiator cap.
3. View the coolant level through the opening.
4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as
needed.
Tip:
This procedure is required only if the cooling sys-
tem has been drained for maintenance and/or
repair. But if the overflow bottle has run dry, the
level in the radiator should also be inspected.
5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recov-
ery system to function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.
