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 the Lubricants / Service Products section for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
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.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Open the front box cover and
remove the access panel. See the
Front Box Cover section for details.
4. View the brake fluid level in the
reservoir
q
. The level should be
between the maximum
w
and
minimum
e
level lines.
5. If the fluid level is lower than the
lower level line, add brake fluid to
the upper line.
6. Apply the brake forcefully for few
seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the fittings.
