Brake Fluid Level
Top Window
The brake fluid in the master cylinder, which is located on the left handlebar,
should be checked before each side. There is an indicator window (1) on the
top of the master cylinder. This window will appear dark when the fluid level is
full. When fluid needs to be added, the window will be clear. NOTE: When
checking the fluid level, the ATV must be on level ground and the handlebars
must be straight. If the fluid level is low add DOT 3 only.
On some models, there is a "side window", the fluid level can be seen through
it, and should be maintained between the indicated "max" and "min" marks on
the reservoir.

located
