MAINTENANCE

Brakes

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.
