Brake Systems - Polaris Sportsman 9921309 Owner's Manual

Brake Systems

The braking system is controlled by the two brake levers located on the
handlebars.
Service Brake Lever
The service brake lever is located
on the left handlebar. This lever
controls both front and rear
wheel braking action. Use this
lever for normal braking.
Apply the service brakes by
squeezing the left brake lever
toward the handlebar. These
brakes are hydraulically activated disc brakes.
Always test brake lever travel and check the reservoir fluid level before
riding. The lever should feel firm when squeezed. Any sponginess
would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level,
which must be corrected before operating. See your dealer for proper
diagnosis and repairs.
Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking,
which could cause an accident. Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling
brake lever.
Auxiliary Brake Lever
The auxiliary brake lever is
located on the right handlebar. It
controls braking action for the
middle axle (rear brake) only.
Use the auxiliary brakes for addi-
tional braking or for backup if the
service brake system fails.
