Additional Notes
- All Polaris Brutus configurations across the 2013-2019 model years share identical brake fluid service intervals: a change at 2000 miles, 24 months, or 200 hours, whichever comes first under normal use conditions.
- The fill level specification of "between min and max" refers to the reservoir's marked minimum and maximum lines, a standard hydraulic brake system fill range that prevents both air ingestion from underfill and overflow from overfill.
- The 24-month interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers the fluid's boiling point regardless of mileage or hours accumulated.
- The 200-hour threshold provides a time-in-operation limit relevant to low-mileage, high-use working conditions where a vehicle may accumulate significant engine and brake hours without covering 2000 miles.
- The Brutus, Brutus HD, and Brutus HDpto variants for 2013-2014 all carry the same brake fluid specification, indicating no variation in hydraulic brake system requirements across the base, heavy-duty, and PTO-equipped trims within that model year range.
- The Brutus HDpto specification extends into a 2015-2019 range while retaining the same interval and fill level requirements as the 2013-2014 HDpto, showing continuity in brake system design across those years for that trim.
