MAINTENANCE Cooling System Engine Overheating The over-temperature indicator on the instrument cluster will illuminate when the engine is overheating. The indicator will flash when engine temperature reaches critical levels. Illuminated Indicator Take action to cool the engine: • Drive in loose snow. • View the coolant level. Do not open the pressure cap while the engine is hot. Add coolant if the level is low. • Stop the engine and allow it to cool down. If you must continue to operate while the indicator light is illuminated, drive slowly and stop the engine frequently to allow it to cool down. Flashing Indicator If the indicator flashes, continued operation could result in serious engine damage. The system will automatically reduce engine power and create a misfire condition. Stop the engine immediately. Allow the engine to cool down. If engine overheating seems to be caused by something other than poor cooling conditions, see your dealer for service. Flushing the Cooling System To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, drain the system completely every two years and add a fresh mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. This service must be performed when the engine is cold. Ask your POLARIS dealer to check the coolant when he performs the fall tune-up on your snowmobile. 88
