MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

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 83. 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.

NOTICE: Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the 

radiator fins and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-
pressure system is not recommended.

Radiator Coolant Level

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.

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 page 27.

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: 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.

MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Coolant Level

Always check and change 
the coolant at the intervals 
outlined in the Periodic 
Maintenance Chart 
beginning on page 83. 
Maintain the coolant level 
between the minimum and 
maximum marks on the 
bottle (when the fluid is 
cool).

1. Position the vehicle on a 

level surface.

2. Remove the hood. See 

page 27.

3. View the coolant level 

in the overflow bottle.

4. If the coolant level is below the safe operating range, remove the 

cap and use a funnel to add coolant through the 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. Your POLARIS dealer can inspect the 
cooling system.

MAINTENANCE

POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System

Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury 
or death.
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its 
strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been 
precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, 
creating vibration and additional loads on components.

The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on 
clutch components. As the owner, you have the following responsibilities for 
your own safety and the safety of others:

• Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for and 

remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when replacing 
the belt.

• See your POLARIS dealer or other qualified service person as outlined in the 

owner's manual.

• This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install 

it in any other product.

• Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.

Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, 
wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch 
to low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the 
PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

MAINTENANCE

POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System

Belt Replacement/Debris Removal

If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet 
duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the 
belt.

WARNING! Failure to remove ALL debris when replacing the belt could result in 
vehicle damage, loss of control and severe injury or death.

1. Allow hot components to cool before performing this procedure.

2. Remove the clutch cover screws and open the clutch cover. Remove 

all debris wrapped in and around the PVT system.

3. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct passage.
4. Check for signs of damage to seals on the transmission and engine.  

If any seals appear to be damaged, your vehicle requires prompt 
service. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

Tip: Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, 

wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to 
low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT 
components (belt, cover, etc.).
