BRAKING SYSTEM
Brake fluid level checking:
This snowmobile model is equipped with a hydraulic brake. Put the snowmobile
on an even surface. A reserve tank upper cover should be in a horizontal plane (possibly, a
changing of a wheel rake or a right handle angle position in relation to the wheel is also
needed). Measure free travel on the lever end, its size should make 10-20 mm.
Check the brake fluid level in the monitoring window, it should be not less than a minimum
permissible level marked as 'LOWER'. Press
the brake lever with effort and look how the brake fluid level will change, if it
becomes lower than a marked limit its is necessary to fill up some brake fluid.
First check a brake free travel and a level of fluid.
Use only brake fluid of DOT4 class.
Bleeding of brakes. If in the process of braking you feel that brakes have become
weak it is necessary to perform their bleeding.
1. Press the brake lever and weaken a bleeding air valve screw for
the air to come off the braking system. After that it is necessary to tighten an air outlet
screw (without releasing the brake lever).
2. Alternatively press and release the brake lever several times until you make sure in
effective work of brake.
Brake blocks:
Always watch brake blocks wear. Replace brake blocks if their wear has reached a limit
mark of blocks wear. If while an operation process a specific 'squeak' of brakes is heard,
quickly turn to a service workshop for brake blocks replacement.
Brake fluid may cause irritation. It is necessary to avoid contact of brake fluid with skin or its
contact with eyes. In case of contact with skin, wash this site with water carefully. In case of
brake fluid contact with eyes, it is necessary to wash eyes with much clean water and quickly
