Always maintain the coolant level at or slightly above the FULL COLD mark on
the coolant bottle (when the engine is cold).
1. Stop the engine and ensure engine is cold.
2. Remove the right side panel.
3. View the coolant level in the coolant bottle. Add coolant as needed.
NOTICE
Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in overheating
and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant level as
recommended.
FLUSHING THE COOLING SYSTEM
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we
recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh
Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added. This service must be performed when the
engine is cold. Your POLARIS dealer can check the coolant when performing
the fall tune-up on your snowmobile.
BLEEDING THE COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system is a self-bleeding system.
CAUTION
Cooling system under pressure. Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your
skin. Never bleed the cooling system or remove the pressure cap when the
engine is warm or hot. Wear eye protection when servicing the cooling system.
NOTICE
Pressure cap rated at 13 PSI (0.9 BAR). Use of a non-standard pressure cap
will not allow the recovery system to function properly.
CAUTION
Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Use the recommended 50/50
Extended-Life Antifreeze.
1. Open the side panels and remove the hood.
2. Close the side panels.
3. Fill the coolant bottle to the COLD FILL mark.
