Brake Fluid
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could
result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not
overfill.
Once open, a bottle of brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, which causes
the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop. This can lead to early brake
fade and the possibility of accident. Do not store opened brake fluid. Properly
discard any unused portion.
Always maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 104 for the
part numbers of Polaris products.
Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as
fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not
extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To
ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed
whenever the cover is loosened or removed.
Do not overfill.
