MAINTENANCE Cooling System The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose. As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the pressure cap, and into the radiator. Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle. POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 premix or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/ coolant and distilled water. POLARIS Antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 136 for the part numbers of POLARIS products. Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the freeze protection required in your area. Recovery Bottle Coolant The recovery bottle is located on the left side of the vehicle. 1. Remove the left side panel. See page 99. 2. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). 3. Add coolant as needed. Recovery Bottle 94

MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery
system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the
radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into
the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is
purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as
recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 premix
or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/
coolant and distilled water. POLARIS Antifreeze is already premixed
and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 136 for the part
numbers of POLARIS products.
Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the
freeze protection required in your area.
Recovery Bottle Coolant
The recovery bottle is located
on the left side of the vehicle.
1.
Remove the left side panel.
See page 99.
2.
Maintain the coolant level
between the minimum and
maximum marks on the
bottle (when the fluid is
cool).
3.
Add coolant as needed.
