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. Inspect the brake pad wear

surface for excessive wear.

5. Change pads when worn to

3/64" (1 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 75.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. 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 autho-

rized Polaris dealer.
