MAINTENANCE Cooling System Overflow Bottle Coolant Level Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 48. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). The overflow bottle is located in front of the right front wheel. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 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 cap and use a funnel to add coolant through the filler opening. Reinstall the cap. Tip: 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.

MAINTENANCE Cooling System Radiator Coolant Level Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 48. 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 consequentially, engine damage. 1. Lift the hood. CAUTION! Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the pressure cap. 2. Slowly remove the radiator cap. 3. View the coolant level through the opening. 4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed. Tip: This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair. But if the overflow bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected. 5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part. 67
