Brake Inspections - Polaris Hawkeye 300 2X4 Owner's Manual

Brakes
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by apply-
ing either the hand brake or the foot brake. Both brake systems are self-
adjusting.

Brake Inspections

Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good operat-
ing condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal
operation.
1. Always keep brake fluid at an
adequate level. See page 70.
2. Check the brake systems regu-
larly for fluid leaks.
3. Check the brakes for excessive
travel or spongy feel.
4. Check the friction pads for
wear, damage and looseness.
Replace the pads when the fric-
tion material is worn to .8 mm.
5. Check the security and surface
condition of the disc.
