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 POLARIS Products chapter for the part
numbers.
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. Access the brake fluid
reservoir
q
through the left front wheel
well.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the
maximum and minimum level lines.
4. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add brake fluid to the upper
line.
5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage
around the fittings.
