5. Burnish the brake pads (see Burnishing Brake Pads
in this section).
Burnishing Brake Pads
Brake pads (both main and auxiliary) must be burnished to
achieve full braking effectiveness. Braking distance will be
extended until brake pads are properly burnished. To prop-
erly burnish the brake pads, use the following procedure.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate the
ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake lever or
apply the auxiliary brake to decelerate to 0-5 mph.
3. Repeat procedure on each brake system twenty times.
4. Verify that the brakelight illuminates when the hand
lever is compressed or the brake pedal is depressed.

3. Remove the nut securing the movable drive face;
then remove the face. Account for the flat washer
and spacer.
NOTE: Keep the drive face plate in contact with the
drive face when removing or installing the drive face
to prevent the rollers from falling out.
! WARNING
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead to
premature brake pad wear or brake loss. Brake loss can
result in severe injury.
