BRAKES
WARNING
Improper brake maintenance can lead to loss of control and an accident, which
could result in serious injury or death. To reduce your risk of injury:
• Never operate the vehicle if the brakes need service. Signs that the brakes
need service include a spongy brake pedal or a metallic friction sound
during braking.
• Always use brake fluid specified by POLARIS.
• Only use new brake fluid from an unopened bottle. Using brake fluid from a
previously opened bottle can lead to reduced braking performance. After
opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
• Do not overfill the brake system reservoir. Overfilling can cause pressure
buildup leading to brake drag, system degradation, and brake system
failure.
• Do not apply WD-40® or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types
of products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the
brake pad and caliper.
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake
pedal.
If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including excessive
pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
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 corrosion, warping or other
damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
5. Inspect the brake disc pad wear surface
q
for excessive wear. Change pads
when worn to 0.030” (0.762 mm) .
