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 corrosion,
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 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
authorized POLARIS dealer.
