MAINTENANCE

Brakes

Brake Fluid

Maintain the brake fluid level between the MIN and MAX marks on

the master cylinder reservoir. Use only Polaris DOT 3 high temperature

brake fluid. See page 112 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

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.

WARNING

Brake fluid will damage decals, paint and some plastics. Always

wipe up spills immediately.
