FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brakes
Check the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder before each use of the ATV.
The master cylinder (1) is located on
the left handlebar.
1. Position the ATV on level ground
with the handlebars straight.
2. View the fluid level through the
indicator window (2) on the top of the master cylinder. This “eye”
will appear dark when the fluid level i s full. When fluid needs to
be added, the eye will be clear.
NOTE: Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the
reservoir as fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the
diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should
be replaced. Always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is
loosened or removed to ensure proper diaphragm operation. We
recommend the use of Polaris DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not overfill.
3. If the fluid level is low, add DOT 3 brake fluid only. See page 110
for the part numbers of Polaris products.

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake
lock-up, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain
brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
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.
