Brake Fluid
Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid
level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 102 for the part
numbers of POLARIS products.
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. Access the brake fluid reservoir
through the left front wheel well.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in neutral. Set the
parking brake.
3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The level should be between the maximum
and minimum level lines. Add brake fluid
as needed.
4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few
seconds and check for fluid leakage around
the fittings.
