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 page 124 for the part num- bers of POLARIS products.

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 con- taminated, 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 and minimum level lines.

Minimum

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.
