Cooling System
Coolant
The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of ethylene-glycol
and distilled water. This mixture provides protection against freezing.
Contact your dealer if greater protection is required.
Use POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 Premix. POLARIS Antifreeze is
already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never
exceed a 60% antifreeze/40% water mixture. See page 120 for the part
numbers of POLARIS products.
Tip:
Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and
may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system.
Coolant Level
The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The
recovery system components are:
• Coolant reservoir bottle
• Filler neck
• Pressure cap
• Connecting hoses
Always maintain the coolant level at the “COLD FILL” mark on the
coolant overflow tank (when the engine is cold).
NOTICE:
Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in
overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant
level as recommended.
