FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Auxiliary Foot Brake
Never back down a hill. Applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill
may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.
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 and 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.
Brake Fluid Level
Check the brake fluid level
frequently for the auxiliary brake
system. The reservoir is located in
the front compartment. See pages
38-39.
Maintain the fluid level between
the maximum and minimum marks.
Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.
