BRAKE FLUID
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.
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 section for the part
numbers.
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 PARK.
3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the
maximum
q
and minimum
w
level lines.
4. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add brake fluid to the upper
line.
5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage
around the fittings.
