Default 1994 4 X 4 400

Runs great. Just a tad over 700 miles. But I have a few questions about it because it does not have an owners manual. Hopefully someone here can help me out.


Where could I get an owner's manual?

What do I use in the radiator? Regular Anti-freeze?

For the oil. Any particular brand of Two Cycle you recommend?

On the left side, right below the gas tank, there is a long white plastic hollow thing that has two lines and the top one says "Full". To me this looks like a radiator overfill (like on a truck) but its cracked and nothing is in it. I was told they never worried about it and just filled it through the radiator cap. Is this OK? Or should I replace that? And if I can fill it through the radiator, how full should I fill it?

The front brakes squeak while your driving this. Is this normal? If not, how can I fix it?

I was told once you can tow a small trailer behind ATVs (like for yard work) but how would you do that? There is no place to hitch anything like a garden tractor (which I know this is not. LOL). It would be nice to be able to have that option while out on the rifle range.

OH! Also. Since I really dont know what kind of care this got before I got it. Is there anything I should check right off like filters or lubing or any other maintainance type stuff?

Thanks in advance for your help!

check and change all the fluids. the tank is the overflow for the coolant and should be at the low mark at least so it can draw coolant out and put in as it expands. this is how you add coolant and not thru the rad. cap. polaris runs a 60/40 mix but any regular 50/50 premix(water and antifreeze) will be ok. we use to run the synthetic 2 stroke in our 2 stroke but just about any brand of 2 stroke will work. the brakes may be semi metalic and is why there sqeaking. just make sure there not worn out and its stel agaist steel. just look around on the web to find a place that sells the manuals. there might be a place where you can add a trailer hitch to the swing arm that is a trailer hitch for a ball hook up. oh and dont forget to grease alll the fitings and check the bearings from being worn out.
