MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cooling System (RANGER 2x4, 4x4, 6x6)
Operation
The overflow bottle (1) is located
in front of the right front tire of the
vehicle. The coolant level must be
maintained between the minimum
and maximum marks on the
overflow bottle.
The engine coolant level is
controlled or maintained by the
recovery system. The recovery
system components are the
overflow bottle, radiator filler
neck, radiator pressure cap and
connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heat ed)
excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and
into the overflow bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant l evels and
maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the overflow bottle.
Adding or Changing Coolant
To ensure that the coolant m aintains its ability to protect the engine,
the system be completely drained every two years, and a fresh mixture
of antifreeze and water should be added.
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Premium 60/40
anti-freeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum
compatible anti-freeze/coolant and distilled water. See page 100 for t he
part numbers of Polaris products.
NOTE: Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed and ready to use.
Do not dilute with water.
NOTE: Always follow the manufact urer’s mixing recommendations
for the freeze protection required in your area.
