CONTROLS

Master Cylinder

The brake fluid in the master

cylinder (1), which is located on the

left handlebar, should be checked

before each ride. 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.

NOTE: When checking the fluid level, the ATV must be on level

ground with the handlebars straight. If the fluid level is low

add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 111 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.
