3. View the brake fluid level through the indicator window
e
on the side of the
master cylinder. The window will appear dark when the fluid level is at MAX.
When fluid level is at the MIN mark, only the lower half of the indicator will be
dark. If the entire indicator window is clear, the master cylinder is empty of
fluid.
4. If fluid level is below the MIN mark, remove the cover screws and add fluid to
the fill line. Do not overfill. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.
IMPORTANT
Operating the ATV with brake fluid levels below the MIN mark may cause poor
braking performance. If fluid levels are consistently low, it could indicate a leak
somewhere in the brake system. Always ensure the master cylinder reservoir
has the recommended amount of brake fluid. Do not operate if brake fluid is
below the MIN line.
5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to specification.

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 brake failure, which could result in an accident. After
opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
