Brake Fluid
Replace brake fluid at least every two years with POLARIS DOT 4 high
temperature brake fluid. See page 137 for the part numbers of POLARIS
products.
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.
NOTICE: Brake fluid will damage labels, paint and some plastics. Always wipe
up spills immediately.
Brake Fluid Level
Position the handlebars so
the brake fluid reservoir is as
close to level as possible.
View the fluid level through
the reservoir (shaded in
illustration). If the level is
below the MIN (minimum)
level specification, add
POLARIS DOT 4 brake
fluid.
Adding Brake Fluid
CAUTION! Do not allow dirt or water
to enter the brake reservoir.
1. Remove the reservoir cover and
diaphragm.
2. Add the recommended brake
fluid to the MAX level.
3. Reinstall the diaphragm.
4. Reinstall the cover and screws.
Torque: 11-13 in-lbs (1.2-1.4 Nm)
