Brake Fluid

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.

Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. For TR/ZUG, there are two areas where the level should be checked — see below images. If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.



NOTE
TR is equipped with fluid level sensor in main/front reservoir which will activate the brake failure lamp if low fluid is detected.

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, located in the front driver-side wheel well. The level should be between the maximum (MAX) and minimum (MIN) level lines.

  4. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add brake fluid to the upper line.

    WARNING
    Do not overfill the brake system reservoir. Overfilling can cause pressure build-up leading to brake drag, system degradation, and brake system failure.

  5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

SSB Lever Reservoir

  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

  2. Place the transmission in PARK.

  3. Remove rear seats.

  4. Turn the 1/4 studs and remove the access panel 1.

  5. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the maximum (MAX) and minimum (MIN) level lines.

  6. If the brake fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add fluid to the upper line.

    WARNING
    Do not overfill the brake fluid reservoir. Overfilling can cause pressure build-up leading to brake drag, system degradation, and brake system failure.

  7. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

  8. Reinstall the rear access panel and turn the 1/4 studs to close.
