Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Visually inspect brake system per intervals defined in the Polaris Maintenance Schedule. Always allow the brake and exhaust systems to cool completely before inspecting.
If any leaks or abrasive wear is noted upon inspection contact your authorized POLARIS dealer for diagnostics and repairs. Kits are available for replacing brake pads and brake discs. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
