FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Auxiliary Foot Brake
Aggressively applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill may cause
rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death. Never back down a hill.
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, which may result in serious injury or death.
The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the
main brake system. Should the main system fail, use the auxiliary foot
brake.
The auxiliary foot brake is
located on the inside of the
right footrest. Operate this
brake with your right foot.
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 fre-
quently for the auxiliary brake
system.
