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.
