Brakes
Brake Inspection
1. Check the brake system for
fluid leaks.
2. Check the brake pedal for
excessive travel or a spongy
feel.
3. Check the friction pads for
wear, damage and looseness.
4. Inspect the brake disc spline
and pad wear surface for
excessive wear.
5. Change pads when worn to
3/64" (1 mm).
Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on
page 59.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8"-1.0" (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels
rough or "catchy," have the steering system inspected by an autho-
rized POLARIS dealer.
Spring Adjustment
Adjust the front and rear shock absorber
springs by rotating the adjustment cam
either clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease spring tension.
