Brake Fluid
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.
WARNING
Keep the master cylinder cover free of dirt and debris. The vent slits allow
for diaphragm movement, and if they become plugged, movement of
brake fluid below the diaphragm may be restricted, altering brake
function.
CAUTION
Brake fluid will damage decals, paint and some plastics. Always wipe up
spills immediately.
Maintain the brake fluid level between the MIN and MAX marks on
the master cylinder reservoir. Use only Polaris DOT 4 high temperature
brake fluid. See page 99 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
