BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE
NOTES
Polaris disc brake systems are light weight, low
maintenance and perform well in the conditions ATVs
routinely encounter. However, there are a few things
to remember when replacing disc brake pads or
performing brake system service to ensure proper
system function and maximum pad service life.
G
Perform a brake
procedure after installing new pads
to maximize service life.
G Optional pads are available to suit
conditions in your area. Select a pad
to fit riding style and environment.
G
Do not over-fill the master cylinder
fluid reservoir.
G Make sure the brake lever and pedal
returns freely and completely.
G Adjust stop pin on front caliper after
pad service.
G Check and adjust master cylinder
reservoir fluid level after pad service.
G Make sure atmospheric vent on
reservoir is unobstructed.
