FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brake Systems

The braking system is controlled by the two brake levers located on the

handlebars.

Service Brake Lever

The service brake lever is located

on the left handlebar. This lever

controls both front and rear

wheel braking action. Use this

lever for normal braking.
Apply the service brakes by

squeezing the left brake lever

toward the handlebar. These

brakes are hydraulically activated disc brakes.
Always test brake lever travel and check the reservoir fluid level before

riding. The lever should feel firm when squeezed. Any sponginess

would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level,

which must be corrected before operating. See your dealer for proper

diagnosis and repairs.

Auxiliary Brake Lever

The auxiliary brake lever is

located on the right handlebar. It

controls braking action for the

middle axle (rear brake) only.

Use the auxiliary brakes for addi-

tional braking or for backup if the

service brake system fails.

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.
