Cooling System MAINTENANCE Coolant High Temperature Indicator Light The high temperature indicator light will illuminate when engine coolant temperature becomes too hot for safe continued operation of the engine. If you must drive your snowmobile after the high temperature indicator light has come on, drive slowly and stop frequently to allow the engine to cool down. Driving in deep snow will also help cool the engine. See your dealer for service. Add coolant if the level is low. NOTE: Engine performance will be reduced if you continue operating when the high temperature light is on. Flushing the Cooling System To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, the system should be completely drained every two years and a fresh mixture of antifreeze and distilled water should be added. Have your Polaris dealer perform this service. Bleeding the Cooling System Bleed the cooling system at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table beginning on page 88.
