Brake Cable Adjustment

If proper adjustment cannot be achieved using the following methods, check the brake band. If the brake band has excessive wear, your POLARIS dealer can assist with installation of a new band.

WARNING
Improper brake adjustment can result in brake failure, which could result in severe injury or death. Perform the adjustment procedures exactly as outlined, or your POLARIS dealer can provide assistance.

  1. Slide the two rubber protector covers 4 back to expose the cable adjuster.

  2. Using an 8 mm wrench to hold the barrel nut 2, loosen the jam nut 1 with a 10 mm wrench.

  3. With your left hand, grasp the cables 3 as close to the adjuster as possible. Use your right hand to rotate the barrel nut until you have reached the proper brake lever adjustment.

  4. Check the actuator linkage to ensure there is adequate freedom of movement for positive brake operation and that all floating parts move freely and that all parts are mounted securely. Tighten hardware as required.

  5. Tighten the adjuster jam nut to specified torque and slide the rubber protectors onto the adjuster.

  6. Ensure the brake lever freeplay is 1/4- 3/8 in (6-10 mm) and clearance between the brake lever and block with the lever fully depressed is no more than 3/4 in (19 mm).

  7. Tighten the band bolt nut 5 to the specified torque.
