FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Master Cylinder
The master cylinder (2) is located on the right-hand handlebar. The brake fluid level should
be checked before each ride. The fluid level can be seen through the indicator window (3)
on the top of the master cylinder. This eye will appear dark when the fluid level is full.
When fluid needs to be added, the eye will be clear.
NOTE: When checking the fluid level, the ATV must be on level ground with the
handlebars straight. If the fluid level is low add DOT 3 brake fluid only. Do not overfill.
See page 175 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Overfilling the master cylinder will result in brake failure. Without room to expand, the
excess fluid will cause the brakes to apply automatically, which could result in serious
injury or death. Always maintain the fluid level between the MIN and MAX marks.
After opening a bottle of b rake 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. See
page 142.
