FEATURES AND CONTROLS

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.
Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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 brake failure, which could result in an accident. After

opening a bottle of brake fluid, always 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 103 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.
