MAINTENANCE
Brakes
Brake Inspection
1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy
feel.
3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness.
4. Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corro-
sion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using
an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
WARNING! Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to
brake discs. These types of products are flammable and may also
reduce the friction between the brake pad and caliper.
5. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for
excessive wear. Change pads when worn to 0.030"
(0.762 mm).
Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the intervals
outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 65.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right. There should be 0.8”-1.0” (20-25 mm) of
freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels rough or “catchy,”
have the steering system inspected by an authorized POLARIS dealer.
