FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Master Cylinder
The master cylinder (1) is on the right handlebar.
Check the brake fluid level before each ride. View
the fluid level through the indicator window (2) on
the top of the master cylinder. This
eye
will appear dark
when the fluid level is full. Add fluid if the eye is clear.
NOTE:
When checking the fluid level, the ATV must be on level ground with the
handlebars straight. If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. Do not
overfill. See page 173 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
WARNING
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could
result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do
not overfill.
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store
or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture
from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop,
which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury.
