WARNING
Any brake system repair should
be performed by an authorized
Can-Am Dealer.
Check brake lever free-play (both
levers), adjust if necessary.
Check for lever operation, they should
move freely and have a firm feel when
brakes are applied.
If correct adjustment is unattainable,
see an authorized Can-Am dealer.
Inspect brake cables for excessive
wear, kinking or fraying.
Replace any cable that show signs of
wear, fraying or other damages.
Lubricate cables using CABLE LUBRI-
CANT (P/N 293 600 041) to reduce
premature wear and to ensure proper
movement of the cable.
WARNING
Always use a silicone-based lu-
bricant. Using any other lubricant
(such as a water-based lubricant)
may cause the brake cables to stick
or become stiff.
Have your authorized Can-Am dealer
inspect brake shoes for wear or dam-
age.
