Liquid Cooling System

When filling the cooling system, use premixed Arctic Cat

Antifreeze. While the cooling system is being filled, air

pockets may develop; therefore, open the bleed screw on

the upper coolant pipe or the thermostat housing to allow

air to bleed from the cooling system. When clear coolant

(no bubbles) is present, tighten the bleed screw securely;

then fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand

pipe in the radiator neck. Run the engine for five minutes

after the initial fill, shut the engine off, and then “top-off”

the cooling system to the bottom of the stand pipe in the

radiator neck.

Radiator

REMOVING

1. Remove the screws securing the dash assembly to

the frame (two on each side, two front center, and

three lower-rear dash). Slide the dash rearward

approximately four inches.

2. Remove four torx-head screws (A) securing the

under-hood storage box to the frame; then remove

two cap screws with nuts (B) at the front of the stor-

age box.

PR182A

3. While lifting up on the front of the storage box, pry

the rear center clear of the center dash mount and

remove the storage box.

PR186

4. Drain the coolant into a suitable container; then dis-

connect the cooling fan wire connector from the

main harness.

PR183A

5. Remove the two shoulder bolts and nuts securing the

radiator to the frame; then disconnect the upper and

lower coolant hoses.

PR184A

6. Lift the radiator assembly from the vehicle. Account

for two upper and two lower rubber mounting grom-

mets.

CLEANING AND INSPECTING

1. Flush the radiator with water to remove any contami-

nants.

2. Inspect the radiator for leaks and damage.

3. Inspect all hoses for cracks and deterioration.

4. Inspect all fasteners and grommets for damage or

wear.

CAUTION

After operating the vehicle for the initial 5-10 minutes,
stop the engine, allow the engine to cool down, and
check the coolant level. Add coolant as necessary.
