MAINTENANCE Cooling System 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. Stop the snowmobile and allow the engine to cool. Place snow on the coolers to help cool the engine. If coolant is low in the coolant reservoir bottle, add coolant to the bottle. Do not open the radiator pressure cap. CAUTION! Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot, or if any part of the cooling system is warm or hot. NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile when the high temperature indicator light is illuminated can result in serious engine damage. Always stop the snowmobile and cool the engine when the high temperature indicator light illuminates. Drive in adequate snow to prevent overheating. If you must drive your snowmobile after the high temperature indicator light has illuminated, drive in deep snow. Drive slowly and stop frequently to allow the engine to cool down. Engine performance will be reduced if you continue operating when the high temperature light is illuminated. 114
