Cooling System Coolant MAINTENANCE The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of ethylene-glycol and distilled water. This mixture provides protection against freezing. Contact your dealer if greater protection is required. Use Premium 60/40 anti-freeze coolant, which is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/ 40% water mixture. See page 135 for the part numbers of POLARIS products. Tip: Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. If the pressure cap needs replacement, contact your dealer for the correct part. CAUTION! Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot. n Coolant Level The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The recovery system components are: • Coolant reservoir bottle • Coolant overflow tank • Filler neck • Pressure cap • Connecting hoses Always maintain the coolant level at the "COLD FILL" mark on the coolant overflow tank (when the engine is cold). NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant level as recommended. "COLD FILL" Mark 107

MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Coolant
The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of ethylene-glycol
and distilled water. This mixture provides protection against freezing.
Contact your dealer if greater protection is required.

ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/
40% water mixture. See page 135 for the part numbers of POLARIS
products.
Tip:
Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and
may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system.
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to
function properly. If the pressure cap needs replacement, contact your
dealer for the correct part.
CAUTION!
Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never remove
the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot.
