Brakes

Hydraulic Brake Inspection

Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See

page 50.

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 machine to an authorized POLARIS dealer for

inspection and adjustment.
