Maintenance
Brake Lever Travel
Firmly depress the brake lever.
Measure the clearance between
the lever and brake block.
If clearance is more than 3/4"
(19 mm), adjust the brake
cable as outlined below.
Brake Cable Adjustment
If proper adjustment cannot be achieved using the following methods,
check the brake band. If the brake band has excessive wear, see your
Polaris dealer for installation of a new band.
1. Slide the two rubber protector covers back to expose the cable
adjuster.
2. Using an 8mm wrench to hold the barrel nut, loosen the jam nut
with a 10mm wrench.
3. With your left hand, grasp the cables as close to the adjuster as pos-
sible. Use your right hand to rotate the barrel nut until you have
reached the proper brake lever adjustment.
WARNING
Improper brake adjustment can result in brake failure, which could result in
severe injury or death. Perform the adjustment procedures exactly as outlined,
or see your Polaris dealer for service.
