MAINTENANCE Brakes 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 page 122 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 page 26. 4. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the maximum and minimum 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 a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings. Brake Fluid Reservoir Minimum Brake Fluid Reservoir Maximum 102

MAINTENANCE
Brakes
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 page 122 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
page 26.
4.
View the brake fluid level in
the reservoir. The level
should be between the
maximum and minimum
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
a few seconds and check for
fluid leakage around the
fittings.
