The throttle cable should be adjusted so there 
is 2mm, (1/8”) free travel at the lever before 
the throttle starts to open. 
Front and Rear Brakes
This vehicle is equipped with dual front 
hydraulic Disc brakes and a rear hydraulic 
disc brake 
The front brakes are controlled by the long 
brake lever on the right-handle bar. 
 
The rear brake is controlled by foot peddle 
located in the right foot well of the unit. 
 
The rear brake is the primary stopping brake 
on your vehicle. Using the rear brake to stop 
your vehicle will prevent steering control loss. 
 
Use your front and rear brakes in combination 
to control your speed while descending a 
grade. Use caution not to apply too much 
pressure to your front brakes so that the 
wheels lock up, stop turning, and causing a 
loss of steering control. If the front wheels 
lock up, and stop turning, lightly reduce the 
pressure on the front brake lever until they 
unlock and start to turn
.
Parking Brake
The front brake, shown in the picture below, is 
located on the right hand side of the handle 
bar. The parking brake is engaged by moving 
the lever to the right and disengaged when by 
moving the leer to the left. 
 
The parking brake should be engaged when 
ever the unit is not in operation and when 
starting the unit. 
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank fill 
cap is located on 
top of the unit just 
ahead of the seat. 
The cap contains 
a vent to prevent a 
vacuum from 
forming in the tank 
as fuel is used. 
The vent tube 
must be attached 
to the cap and 
inserted in the 
vent tube holder 
hole while operating the unit. The fuel cap vent 
and vent tube must be clean and clear of 
obstructions for the unit to operate normally. You 
can check the vent and vent tube by blowing air 
through the tube. If you can not blow through the 
vent tube and cap you must clean the vent and 
tube or replace them. 
 
Every time you refuel your unit, check the rubber 
seal inside the cap for cuts, tears and dirt. Clean 
or replace the seal if it becomes worn or torn. 
The seal must be in good condition to insure a 
proper seal of the cap to the tank to prevent fuel 
spills. DO NOT allow dirt or other debris to enter 
the tank when refueling. 
 
Replace the cap if damaged or if it will not seal 
to the tank.
