MAINTENANCE Cooling System 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 82. In addition, bleed the cooling system any time one or more of the following conditions exist. • A component of the cooling system has been serviced or replaced (including coolers, radiator, engine, coolant lines and oil cooler) • A cooling system failure occurs, resulting in coolant loss • A coolant line has been disconnected for any reason • A coolant leak occurs CAUTION! Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never bleed the cooling system or remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot. 1. Read and understand the entire coolant bleed procedure before beginning. Do not start the engine until instructed to do so. 2. Move the snowmobile into a well-ventilated area. Allow the engine to cool completely. 3. Place the transmission in neutral. 4. Raise and support the front of the snowmobile so the front bumper is at least 30 inches (76 cm) from the ground. 107
