Recommended Fluid
Always use brake fluid meeting the
specification DOT 4 only.
CAUTION: To avoid serious dam-
age to the braking system, do not
use fluids other than the recom-
mended one, nor mix different
fluids for topping up.
Fluid Level
With vehicle on a level surface, check
brake fluid in reservoirs for proper lev-
el. They should be above MIN. mark.
Add fluid as required. Do not overfill.
Clean filler cap before removing.
CAUTION: Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container. Do
not use brake fluid taken from old
or already opened containers.
NOTE: A low level may indicate leaks
or worn brake pads. See an autho-
rized Can-Am dealer.
