Hydraulic Brake Inspection

Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See

page 53.
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes

thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16″). A kit is available

for replacing brake pads. See your dealer.

WARNING

Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or

death. Properly functioning brakes are vital to your safety. Be

sure the brake pads do not drag on the disc and that brake lever

travel is not excessive.
Always replace brake pads when the brake pad material

becomes thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16″).

Brake Components

Excessive Lever Travel

self-adjusting, but if excessive

(see page 88), bring the

machine to an authorized

and adjustment.
