MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Cooling System (RANGER 4X4, 6X6) Radiator and Cooling Fan Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 54. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and consequent engine damage. CAUTION Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator fins and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Exercise caution if a high-pressure system is used for washing the vehicle. Coolant Level Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 54. 1 Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). The overflow bottle (1) is located in front of the right front wheel. 1. Position the vehicle on level ground. 2. View the coolant level in the overflow bottle. 3. If the coolant level is below the safe operating range, lift the hood and locate the overflow bottle lid. Remove the lid and use a funnel to add coolant through the filler opening. Reinstall the cap. NOTE: If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system. Have the cooling system inspected by your Polaris dealer. 72

Radiator and Cooling Fan
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals
outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 54. Do
not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling
fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and
consequent engine damage.
CAUTION
Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the
radiator fins and impair the radiator’s effectiveness. Exercise
caution if a high-pressure system is used for washing the vehicle.
Coolant Level
Always check and change the coolant at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 54.
Maintain the coolant level between the
minimum and maximum marks on the
bottle (when the fluid is cool). The
overflow bottle (1) is located in front of
the right front wheel.
1.
Position the vehicle on level ground.
2.
View the coolant level in the overflow bottle.
3.
If the coolant level is below the safe operating range, lift the hood
and locate the overflow bottle lid. Remove the lid and use a funnel

NOTE:
If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs
