Radiator Coolant Level / Changing Coolant

This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair.

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.

  1. Remove the hood. See Hood.

  2. Slowly remove the radiator pressure cap 1

  3. View the coolant level 2 through the side of the pressure tank.

  4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.

  5. Before reinstalling the pressure cap, bleed the system of trapped air. Locate the coolant bleed screw on the engine above the exhaust head pipe on the power take- off side. Use a socket wrench to turn the bleed screw slightly, allowing the air to escape. Slowly add additional coolant to the pressure tank until air no longer escapes and only coolant flows from the bleed hole, then tighten the bleed screw.

  6. Reinstall the pressure cap.

TIP
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the correct replacement part.
