Master Cylinder - Polaris 9919412 Owner's Manual For Maintenance And Safety

CONTROLS

Master Cylinder

The brake fluid in the master
cylinder (1), which is located on the
left handlebar, should be checked
before each ride. The fluid level
can be seen through an indicator
window (2) 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.
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. See page 113 for the part
numbers 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.
