Brake Fluid - Polaris ATP 330 4x4 2005 Owner's Manual

Brake Fluid

Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder before each use of
the ATV. The master cylinder (2) is located on the left handlebar.
The fluid level can be seen through an indicator window (3) on the top
of the master cylinder. This "eye" will appear dark when the fluid
level is full. When fluid needs to be added, the eye will be clear.
WARNING
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake
lock-up, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain
brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
NOTE: When checking the fluid level, the ATV must be on level
ground with the handlebars straight. If the fluid level is low,
add DOT 3 brake fluid only. DO NOT OVERFILL. See page
119 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
WARNING
Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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. After opening a bottle of brake fluid,
always discard any unused portion.
