Brakes

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes. Press down on the brake pedal to engage the brakes.

Brake Fluid

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation.
WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury.
Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.
  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. View the brake fluid level at the reservoir in the driver’s side wheel well. The level should be between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) level lines.
  3. If the fluid level is lower than the upper level line, open the hood and add brake fluid to the upper (MAX) line.
  4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

Brake Inspection

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.

  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 corrosion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
  5. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. Change pads when worn to 0.762 mm (0.030").

ABS Inspection

  1. If the ABS system fails or becomes defective, the ABS symbol will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster.
  2. If this occurs, decrease vehicle speed to maximum of 60 km/h.
  3. The speed sensors are located in the front and rear of the vehicle as shown. To inspect the ABS system, check that the air gap of all 4 speed sensors is 0.8-1 mm .

caution
Ensure that the ABS sensors are not adjusted outside the appropriate air gap threshold. The ABS system may function improperly if this occurs.
If more assistance is needed, please contact your Polaris dealer or other qualified person.
