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 serious 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.

Replace brake fluid at least every two years with Polaris DOT 4 high

temperature brake fluid. S ee page 117 for the part numbers of Polaris

products.

The brake fluid level can be seen through a plastic sight glass in t he

brake reservoir. If the fluid is sufficient, the sight glass will be black.

If the s ight glass is any color other than black, add brake fluid.
