FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brake Lever

WARNING

Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of

braking, which could cause an accident. Never operate the ATV

with a spongy-feeling brake lever.

The front and rear brakes are

applied by squeezing the brake

lever (1) toward the handlebar.

The front and rear brakes are

hydraulically activated disc type

brakes that are activated by only

one lever.
Always test brake lever travel and

master cylinder fluid level before

riding. When squeezed, the lever

should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak

or low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before

riding. Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
