Brake Fluid

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could

result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not

overfill.
Once open, a bottle of brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, which causes

the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop. This can lead to early brake

fade and the possibility of accident. Do not store opened brake fluid. Properly

discard any unused portion.

Always maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 104 for the

part numbers of Polaris products.
Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as

fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not

extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To

ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed

whenever the cover is loosened or removed. Do not overfill.
