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.
