3. Check the brake pads
q
for wear, damage and looseness.
4. Inspect the brake pad wear surface for excessive wear.
5. Change pads when the friction material
w
is worn to .04" (1 mm) .
6. Check the surface condition of the brake discs
e
. Measure the thickness.
Replace a disc if the thickness is less than .170” (4.32 mm).
7. Check brake system hoses and fittings for cracks, deterioration, abrasion
and leaks. Tighten any loose fittings and replace any worn or damaged parts.
BRAKE FLUID
Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid level is low
add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 133 for the part numbers of POLARIS
products.
WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never
store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly
absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of
the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of
accident or severe injury.
The brake fluid reservoir
q
is located under the hood at the front of the vehicle.
Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of
the fluid in the reservoir are unknown. Access the brake fluid reservoir through
the left front wheel well.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in neutral. Set the parking brake.
