Liquid Cooling System
NOTE: Debris in front of the engine
or packed between the cooling fins of
the radiator can reduce cooling capa-
bility. Using a garden hose, wash the
radiator to remove any debris pre-
venting air flow.
The cooling system capacity can be
found in the specifications chart. The
cooling system should be inspected daily
for leakage and damage. If leakage or
damage is detected, take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer for service. Also, the
coolant level should be checked periodi-
cally.
NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi-
cle speed, or heavy load can raise
engine temperature. Decreasing
engine RPM, reducing load, and
selecting an appropriate transmis-
sion gear can lower the temperature.
When filling the cooling system, use a
60/40 coolant/water mixture or a ratio
which will satisfy the coldest anticipated
weather conditions of the area in accor-
dance with the coolant manufacturer’s
recommendations. While the cooling sys-
tem is being filled, air pockets may
develop; therefore, run the engine for
five minutes after the initial fill, shut the
engine off, and then fill the cooling sys-
tem to the bottom of the stand pipe in the
radiator neck.
Checking/Filling
1. On the TBX, remove the two screws
from the front of the radiator access
panel.

2. On the TBX, lift the front of the
access panel; then slide the panel
forward to disengage the two rear
tabs; then move the panel rearward
until free of the rack.
3. On the Mud Pro, remove four cap
screws securing the snorkel housing
to the front inspection panel; then
remove two cap screws from the rear
of the snorkel housing.

4. Separate the front of the snorkel
housing from the rear; then remove
the snorkel housing.
CAUTION
Do not use a pressure washer to
clean the radiator core. The pressure
may bend or flatten the fins causing
restricted air flow, and electrical com-
ponents on the radiator could be
damaged. Use only a garden hose
with spray nozzle at normal tap pres-
sure.
CAUTION
Continued operation of the ATV with
high engine temperature may result
in engine damage or premature wear.
