FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brake Lever
WARNING
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 .
The front and rear brakes are
applied by squeezing the brake
lever (1) toward the handlebar.
The front and rear 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.
