Brakes
-
Never operate the vehicle if the brakes need service. Signs that the brakes need service include a spongy brake pedal or a metallic friction sound during braking.
-
Always use brake fluid specified by POLARIS.
-
Only use new brake fluid from an unopened bottle. Using brake fluid from a previously opened bottle can lead to reduced braking performance. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
-
Do not overfill the brake system reservoir. Overfilling can cause pressure buildup leading to brake drag, system degradation, and brake system failure.
-
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.
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake pedal.
If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
