FEATURES AND CONTROLS
q
Squeeze the brake lever toward the
handlebar to apply the front and rear
brakes. These brakes are hydraulically
activated disc type brakes that are
activated by only one lever. Always test
brake lever travel and master cylinder
fluid level before riding. When
squeezed, the lever should feel firm.
Any sponginess would indicate a
possible fluid leak or low master
cylinder fluid level, which must be
corrected before riding. Contact your
POLARIS dealer or other qualified
service facility for proper diagnosis and
repairs.
BRAKE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Brake Monitoring System monitors brake
fluid pressure while the brake lever is
depressed.
If brake fluid pressure is lost, or a drop in
pressure is detected, the brake warning light
will illuminate.
NOTICE
The brake monitoring system is very sensitive. Resting your fingers on the
brake lever may cause the brake warning indicator to illuminate. It is not
recommended to rest hand on the brake lever while the vehicle is in motion. If
the brake warning indicator lamp falsely illuminates, depress the brake lever
for 3 seconds to reset the indicator lamp. If the brake warning light remains
illuminated, and the brake lever feels soft, check the brake fluid level, inspect
the brake lines for leaks. See your dealer or other qualified technician for
assistance. Do not operate the vehicle with a malfunctioned brake system.
