BRAKE FLUID
Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid level is low
add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See the Polaris Products chapter for part numbers.
WARNING
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.
Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of
the fluid in the reservoir are unknown. Access the brake fluid reservoir through
the left front wheel well.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
Set the parking brake.
3. View the brake fluid level in the
reservoir
q
. The level should be
between the maximum and
minimum level lines. Add brake fluid
as needed.
4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few
seconds and check for fluid leakage
around the fittings.
