Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See
page 63.
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes
thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm). 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 inch or 1.5 mm).
Brake Components
1. Brake Disc
2. Brake Caliper
3. Anti-rattle springs (come
with brake pad kit)
4. Brake Pad Material (Replace
when thickness is less than 1/
16 inch/1.5 mm).
Excessive Lever Travel
Hydraulic brakes are self-
adjusting, but if excessive brake
pad clearance develops, bring the
snowmobile to an authorized
POLARIS dealer for inspection
and adjustment.
