Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See
page 79.
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes
thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm). A
kit is available for replacing brake pads. See your dealer.
WARNING! Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death.
Properly functioning brakes are vital to your safety. Be sure the brake pads do
not drag on the disc and that brake lever travel is not excessive. Always replace
brake pads when the brake pad material becomes thinner than the backing plate
(approximately 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm).

Excessive Lever Travel
Hydraulic brakes are self-adjusting,
but if excessive brake pad clearance
develops, bring the snowmobile to
an authorized POLARIS dealer for
inspection and adjustment.
TIP: The lightweight brake discs have
vent holes that may cause a high-
pitched sound during operation.
