BRAKE

WARNING
Any brake system repair should
be performed by an authorized
Can-Am dealer.

Front Brake

The front brakes are hydraulic disc
types. These brakes are self-adjusting
and require no adjustment.

Rear Brake

The rear brake employs two systems.
The first system uses a cable; an ad-
justment is necessary. See an autho-
rized Can-Am dealer.
The second system is hydraulic and
requires no adjustment.

Brake Cable Lubrication

Remove brake lever and lock (screw,
nut and spring).
Remove cable from hand lever. To
ease this operation, apply a force on
the brake pedal to loosen the cable.
Put the cable luber (P/N 529 035 738)
on the cable.
Insert the needle of the spray can in
the hole.
Spray a small quantity of silicone ca-
ble lubricant (P/N 293 600 041) or and
equivalent then press the brake ped-
al to move the brake cable. Repeat
this procedure until the silicone lubri-
cant exits the other end of the cable.
WARNING
Always use a silicone-based lu-
bricant. Using another lubricant
(like water-based lubricant) could
cause brake cable sticking or stiff-
ness.
