FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brakes
Check the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder before each use of the
ATV. The master cylinder (1) is
located on the left handlebar.
The fluid level can be seen through an
indicator window (2) 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 cl ear.
NOTE: Wh en 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 108 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake
lock-up, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain
brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
WARNING
Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always
discard any unused portion.
