TIP●The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.●If the engine overheats, see page 8-67 for fur-
ther instructions.EBU27768To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01890Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap.1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel D. (See page 8-10.)
3. Remove the footboard by removing the boltsand nuts. 4. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.
(Use a trough or a similar object as shown to
prevent coolant from spilling on the engine
guard.)

torque.
11. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
12. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia- tor until it is full. 13. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser-
voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap. NOTICE: Mix
antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft
water may be used for refilling. Do not use
hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine.
