2. Remove the oil pressure sensor from the engine.
3. Using an oil pressure gauge and adapter, thread the
adapter into the oil pressure sensor hole and tighten
securely.
4. Start the engine, run at 4000 RPM, and observe the
oil pressure. The engine oil pressure specification is
29 psi ± 20%.

NOTE: This test must be done with the engine at
running temperature.
5. After verifying oil pressure, remove the adapter and
gauge from the engine, install the sensor, and tighten
to 120 in.-lb. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.

NOTE: Before installing the sensor, it may be neces-
sary to apply thread sealant or teflon tape to the sen-
sor threads.
Liquid Cooling System
(5000/9000)
The liquid cooling system consists of a heat exchanger,
water pump, and thermostat. The system should be
inspected for leaks or damage whenever an overheating
problem is experienced.
DRAINING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Open the right-side access panel.
2. Remove the hardware securing the exhaust resona-
tor; then remove the resonator.
3. Remove the hose clamp from the coolant hose con-
necting the water pump to the right side of the oil
cooler. Clamp off the coolant hose; then with a drain
pan positioned under the coolant hose, remove the
hose from the water pump and tip the hose down-
ward allowing the coolant to drain completely.
4. Apply 5-8 psi to the coolant system through the cool-
ant overflow tube and continue until the coolant
stops draining from the system.
FILLING/BLEEDING COOLING
SYSTEM
1. Remove the left- and right-side access panels and
hood.

NOTE: Place the hood along side the snowmobile;
then using Hood Harness Extension, connect the
hood to the main harness.
2. Loosen the bleed screw and add coolant into the
filler neck until coolant is visible at the bleed screw;
then tighten the bleed screw and add coolant to the
coolant reservoir Full-Cold line.
744-032A
3. Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes.
4. With the engine cool, loosen the bleed screw and
allow the coolant level in the filler neck to drop; then
with the bleed screw loose, add coolant into the filler
neck until no air is visible or heard at the bleed
screw. Tighten the bleed screw and add coolant to the
reservoir if necessary.

NOTE: If the coolant level in the filler neck suddenly
drops when the bleed screw is loosened, an air-lock
occurred in the cylinder head. Add coolant to the
filler neck until full before starting the engine.
5. Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes;
then shut the engine off and allow it to cool.
6. Repeat steps 5-6 at least two more times (more if
necessary) until no air is in the cooling system.
7. Install the hood and both side panels.
INSPECTING COOLANT HOSES AND
CLAMPS
All coolant hoses and connections should be checked
annually for deterioration, cracks, and wear.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow thread sealant or teflon tape into
the oil passage or severe engine damage will occur.
7000
CAUTION
The cooling system must be properly filled. If the sys-
tem isn’t properly filled, engine damage will occur.
CAUTION
Running the engine with low coolant level can cause
severe engine damage.
CAUTION
Operating the snowmobile with air in the cooling sys-
tem will cause severe damage to the engine.
