Checking the brake fluid level

Place the snowmobile on a level surface. Check that the
brake fluid is above the lower level and replenish when
necessary.
1 Lower level
Specified brake fluid: DOT 4
WARNING
@
Be careful that water does not enter the master cylin-
der when refilling. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
If the brake fluid level goes down, consult a Yamaha
dealer.

Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts. Never spill any fluid. If any is spilled, clean
