MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Radiator Coolant Level/Changing Coolant
This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained
for maintenance and/or repair.
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.
1. Remove the hood. See page
30.
2. Slowly remove the radiator
pressure cap.
3. View the coolant level
through the side of the
pressure tank.
4. Use a funnel and slowly add
coolant as needed.
5. Before reinstalling the
pressure cap, bleed the
system of trapped air.
Remove the engine access
panel behind the seats and
use a flat-blade screwdriver
to turn the bleed screw
slightly, allowing the air to
escape. Slowly add additional coolant to the pressure tank until air
no longer escapes and only coolant flows from the bleed hole, then
tighten the bleed screw.
6. Reinstall the pressure cap.
Tip:
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to
function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the correct
replacement part.
