MAINTENANCE Cooling System Coolant The coolant supplied in the system at the factory is a 50/50 mixture of ethylene-glycol and distilled water, which will provide adequate freeze protection under most conditions. If the vehicle will be stored or operated at extremely low temperatures, greater protection may be required. Please see your POLARIS dealer. When adding or changing coolant, POLARIS recommends using POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 Premix. POLARIS Antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/40% water mixture. See page 116 for POLARIS products. Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system. Coolant Level The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The recovery system components are: • Coolant bottle/overflow tank • Pressure cap • Connecting hoses Always maintain the coolant level at or slightly above the FULL COLD mark on the coolant bottle (when the engine is cold). 1. Stop the engine. 2. Open the right side panel. 3. View the coolant level in the coolant bottle. 4. Add coolant as needed. NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant level as recommended. "Full Cold" Mark 91
