FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brakes
Check the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder before each use of
the vehicle. The master cylinder (1)
is located on the left handlebar.
The fluid level can be seen through
an indicator window (2) on the top
of the master cylinder. This “eye”
will appear dark when the fluid level
is full. When fluid needs to be
added, the eye will be clear.
WARNING
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.
NOTE: When checking the fluid level, the vehicle must be on level
ground with the handlebars straight. If the fluid level is low
add DOT 4 brake fluid only. DO NOT OVERFILL. See page
111 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
WARNING
Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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. After opening a bottle of brake fluid,
always discard any unused portion.
