Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Inspect the brake lever
reserve before each use of
the snowmobile.
Firmly depress the brake
lever and measure the
clearance between the lever
and handlebar grip. This
distance, called brake lever
reserve (A), should be no less than 1/2″ (1.3 cm).
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes
thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16″). A kit is available
for replacing brake pads. See your dealer.
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″).
