MAINTENANCE
Brakes
The rear brakes are mechanical drum type brakes activated by the brake
pedal. See page 33.
Always check brake pedal travel before each use of the vehicle. When
applied, the brake pedal should feel firm.
If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including
excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and
repairs.
WARNING! Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake pedal can result in loss
of braking, which could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death.
Never operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake pedal.
Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for smooth operation at the intervals outlined
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 57.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels
rough or "catchy," have the steering system inspected by an autho-
rized Polaris dealer.
