3. Remove the hood. See page 42.
4. View the coolant level in the overflow bottle.
5. If the coolant level is below the safe operating range, make sure the pressure
cap is securely installed before adding coolant to the overflow bottle.
NOTE
Always add coolant through the bottle filler opening, not through the radiator
pressure cap opening.
6. Reinstall the coolant bottle cap.
TIP
If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely dry,
there may be a leak in the system. Your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified
person, can inspect the cooling system.
RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL
Check the radiator coolant level ONLY if the overflow bottle is dry. If the overflow
bottle contains fluid, the radiator level should NOT be inspected.
TIP
If the overflow bottle runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system.
Your POLARIS dealer, or other authorized, can inspect the cooling system.
1. Remove the hood. See page 42.
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.
2. If the overflow bottle is dry, slowly remove the radiator pressure cap.
3. View the coolant level through the opening.
4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.
5. Reinstall the pressure cap securely. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will
not allow the recovery system to function properly. Your POLARIS dealer, or
other qualified person, can provide the correct replacement part.
6. With the pressure cap securely installed, add coolant to the overflow bottle to
the recommended level. Reinstall the coolant bottle cap.
