| I have water in it right now and it heats up really hot even with the fan running. I have heard of engine ice, but never had an atv with a rad. Thanks for any info! |

| Alright cool. Do you know if i should fill up the clear container that runs to the radiator, or the radiator itself. The container has two lines on it. Thanks! |

| make sure its completly cool, then open the radiator and fill, then put cap on and start it, then re fill radiator till it does not take any more. Sometimes u have to wait just a bit while it warms upso you know its full in the engine block. once it is, just fill the outside tank to where it says |
