Brake Fluid
Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid 
level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 126 for the part num-
bers 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 severe injury.
Change the brake fluid every two 
years and any time the fluid 
becomes contaminated, the fluid 
level is below the minimum, or if 
the type and brand of the fluid in 
the reservoir are unknown. 
Access the brake fluid reservoir 
through the left front wheel well.
1. Position the vehicle on a 
level surface.
2. Place the transmission in 
PARK.
3. View the brake fluid level in 
the reservoir. The level 
should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum level 
lines.
4. If the fluid level is lower 
than the lower level line, add 
brake fluid to the upper line. 
5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid 
leakage around the fittings.
