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

Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thin-
ner than the backing plate, approximately 1/16" (1.5 mm). A kit is avail-
able for replacing brake pads. See your dealer.

WARNING! Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death.
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" (1.5mm).
