Hydraulic Brake Inspection

Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See

page 55.

Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thin-

ner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16I). A kit is available for

replacing brake pads. See your dealer.

Excessive Lever Travel

Hydraulic brakes are self-adjusting, but if excessive brake pad clearance

develops, bring the machine to an authorized Polaris dealer for inspec-

tion and adjustment.

Brake Components

1. Brake Caliper
2. Brake Disc
3. Brake Pad Material

(Replace when thickness is

less than 1/16I/1.5 mm).

WARNING

Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death. Properly

functioning brakes are vital to your safety. Be sure the brake pads do not

drag on the disc and that brake lever travel is not excessive.
Always replace brake pads when the brake pad material becomes thinner

than the backing plate (approximately 1/16

I

).
