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. If you must drive your machine after the high temperature
indicator light has come on, drive slowly and stop frequently to allow
the engine to cool down. Driving in deep snow will also help cool the
engine. See your dealer for service.
Add coolant if the level is low. Engine performance will be reduced if
you continue operating when the high temperature light is on.
Flushing the Cooling System
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we
recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years
and fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added. 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.
Bleeding the Cooling System
CAUTION! Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never bleed the
cooling system or remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot.
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.
