NOTE: It may be necessary to refill the reservoir a
number of times to eliminate all air bubbles in the sys-
tem.
4. When the brake fluid is free of all air and the brake
lever feels firm when compressed, fill the reservoir;
then install and secure the cover. Remove the tube
from the bleeder valve.
5. Bleed the brake system (see Bleeding Brake System
in this sub-section).
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
If the brake lever feels spongy when applied, the brake
system may need to be bled.
1. With the handlebar in the highest position, remove
the reservoir cover and fill the reservoir with
approved brake fluid.
2. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over the ball of the
bleeder valve and direct the other end into a con-
tainer.
PC223A
3. Slowly compress the brake lever and hold. Open the
bleeder valve to release the fluid and air. When the
fluid stops flowing, close the bleeder valve; then
release the brake lever.
4. Repeat step 3 until the brake fluid flows free of air
bubbles.
NOTE: It may be necessary to refill the reservoir
during the bleeding process.
5. When the brake fluid is free of all air and the brake
lever feels firm when compressed, fill the reservoir;
then install and secure the cover. Remove the tube
from the bleeder valve.
CHECKING AND REPLACING BRAKE
PADS
1. Remove the brake shield; then remove the retaining
pin securing the brake pads.
PC195
2. Remove one brake pad and measure the thickness.
PC199
NOTE: Brake pad thickness must be greater than
0.20 in. If brake pad thickness is less than specified,
replacement of both pads is necessary. Always replace
with new pads and always replace as a set.
3. Position the new brake pad into the caliper.
4. Repeat for the other pad; then secure the pads with
the retaining pin.
PC194
NOTE: When new brake pads are installed, a “bur-
nishing” process is required. Drive the snowmobile
slowly and compress the brake lever several times
until the pads just start to warm up; then allow them
to cool down. This procedure stabilizes the pad mate-
rial and extends the life of the pads.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Use only approved brake fluid. Any substitute may
result in a loss of brakes.
! WARNING
Do not use brake fluid from a container opened for a
long period of time. Unsealed brake fluid containers will
absorb moisture and can contaminate the fluid inside.
