Brake Fluid
Maintain the brake fluid level between the MIN and MAX marks on
the master cylinder reservoir. Use only P olaris 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.
