MAINTENANCE Cooling System Radiator and Cooling Fan Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 60. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and consequent engine damage. CAUTION Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator fins and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is not recommended. Coolant Level Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 60. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). The overflow bottle is located in front of the right front wheel. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. View the coolant level in the overflow bottle. 3. If the coolant level is below the safe operating range, lift the hood and locate the overflow bottle lid. Remove the lid and use a funnel to add coolant through the filler opening. Reinstall the cap. Overflow Bottle Radiator Cap Overflow Bottle NOTE: If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system. Have the cooling system inspected by your Polaris dealer. 78
