FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Auxiliary Brake
WARNING
Aggressively applying the rear brake when backing downhill may
cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.
Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not
aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward. The
rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control
and serious injury or death.
The auxiliary foot brake (1), is
located on the inside of the right
floorboard and is operated by the
right foot. The auxiliary brake
serves as a backup to the main
brake system if the main system
becomes inoperative.
If the rear wheels slide while
using the auxiliary brake, reduce
brake pedal pressure to brake the
rear wheels without skidding.
Check the brake fluid level frequently for the auxiliary brake system.
The reservoir is located under the seat or near the foot brake. Maintain
the fluid level between the maximum and minimum marks.
