Checking the brake fluid level
WARNING
EWS00460
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
If the brake fluid level goes down, consult
a Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECS00550
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Never spill any fluid.
If any is spilled, clean it up immediately.
Place the snowmobile on a level surface and
apply the parking brake. Check that the brake
fluid is above the lower level and replenish
when necessary.
