Brake Fluid - Polaris Ranger EV 2011 Owner's Manual

Brakes
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes. Press down on
the brake pedal to engage the brakes. See page 35.

Brake Fluid

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid
before each operation.
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.
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. See page 58 for fluid
recommendations.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. View the brake fluid level at the
reservoir in the driver's side
wheel well. The level should be
between the upper (MAX) and
lower (MIN) level lines.
3. If the fluid level is lower than
the upper level line, add brake
fluid to the upper (MAX) line.
4. Apply the brake forcefully for a
few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the fittings.
