MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Brakes

Under normal operation, a diaphragm extends into the reservoir as fluid

level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not extended,

a leak is likely. The brake system should be inspected by your dealer.

Fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or removed

to ensure proper diaphragm operation. Use Polaris DOT 3 brake fluid.

Do not overfill.

NOTE: Reservoir levels will decrease as brake pads become worn.

When checking the fluid level, the vehicle must be on level

ground with the handlebars straight. If the fluid level is low,

check brake pad thickness before adding brake fluid. DO

NOT OVERFILL.

Brake Check

Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good

operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily

during normal operation.

WARNING

Do not overfill the reservoirs. An over-full master cylinder may

cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could cause brake loss

or loss of control. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level.

1. Check the brake systems regularly for

fluid leaks.

2. Check the brakes for excessive travel

or spongy feel.

3. Check the brake pads for wear,

damage or looseness. Replace pads

when they are worn to 1 mm.

4. Check the security and surface

condition of the brake discs.
