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 1/16 inch/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/1.5 mm).
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.
