COOLING SYSTEM REFILLING
PROCEDURE
CAUTION: To prevent rust formation or freez-
ing condition, always replenish the system
with the Bombardier premixed coolant or with
50% antifreeze and 50% water. Pure antifreeze
without water freezes (like slush ice). Always
use ethylene glycol antifreeze containing cor-
rosion inhibitors specifically recommended for
aluminum engines.
System Capacity
Refer to TECHNICAL DATA.
Refilling Procedure
IMPORTANT: USE THE 50/50 PREMIXED
COOLANT - 37°C(-35°F) (P/N 293 600 038).
Do not reinstall pressure cap.
With engine cold, refill coolant tank up to COLD
LEVEL line. Start engine. Refill up to line while
engine is idling until rear radiators are warm to
the touch (about 4 to 5 minutes). Always monitor
coolant level while filling tank to avoid emptying.
Install pressure cap.
Lift rear of vehicle and support it safely.

Lift front of vehicle of 60 cm (24 in) and support it
safely. Let the vehicle idle for two minutes.
Put vehicle back on ground and add coolant up to
15 mm (1/2 in) over COLD LEVEL line.
When engine has completely cooled down,
recheck coolant level in coolant tank and refill up
to line if needed.
Check for coolant mixture freezing point. Specifi-
cation is - 37°C(-35°F). Adjust as necessary.
