FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brakes
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. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the vehicle.
Aggressively applying the rear brakes 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 rear brakes. Do not aggressively apply the rear
brakes when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide sideways,
causing loss of control, which may result in serious injury or death.
Front Brakes (Right Lever)
Squeeze the right brake lever toward
the handlebar to apply the hydraulic
front wheel brakes. This lever does not
apply the rear brakes.
Always test front brake lever travel and
master cylinder fluid level before
riding. When squeezed, the lever
should feel firm. Any sponginess
would indicate a possible fluid leak or
low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding.
Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
