Brake Inspection

The brake lever reserve should

be inspected frequently. Mea-

sure the clearance between the

lever and handlebar grip. In-

spection should be made with

the lever firmly depressed. Le-

ver reserve (A) should be no

less than 1/2″ (1.3 cm).
Replacement of brake pads will

be necessary when the brake

pad material is thinner than the

backing plate approximately

(1/16″). A kit is available for re-

placing brake pads. See your

dealer.

Excessive Lever Travel

The snowmobile’s hydraulic brakes are self-adjusting. If excessive brake pad

clearance should develop, the machine should be returned to an authorized Polar-

is dealer for inspection and adjustment.
