Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Inspect brake lever travel before each use of the snowmobile. See page
69.
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. Please 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).
CAUTION! Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for
the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine
running.
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.
