FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brake Lever
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.
Squeeze the brake lever toward
the handlebar to apply the front
and rear brakes. These brakes are
hydraulically activated disc type
brakes that are activated by only
one lever.
Always test 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.
