MAINTENANCE
Brakes
n Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See
page 47.
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).
