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 94 for the part
numbers of POLARIS products.
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 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
neutral. Set the parking
brake.
3. View the brake fluid level in
the reservoir. The level
should be between the
maximum and minimum
level lines. Add brake fluid as needed.
4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the fittings.
