brake.
S
The parking brake may relax if left on for a long period of time. Al-
ways block the wheels to prevent rolling.
S
Never depend on the parking brake alone if the ATV is parked on a
hill. Always block the wheels on the downhill side of the ATV to
prevent rolling. Another option is to park the ATV in a sidehill posi-
tion.
Operating the ATV while the parking brake is engaged could
result in an accident and serious injury or death. Always check
to be sure the parking brake is disengaged before operating.
