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. Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corro-
sion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using
an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
NOTICE: Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to brake
discs.
5. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for
excessive wear. 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 out-
lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 47.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right. 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 authorized POLARIS dealer.
