Auxiliary Brake
Your Polaris ATV has an
auxiliary brake (1) for added
safety. It’s located on the
inside of the right floor board
and is operated by the right
foot. The auxiliary brake
serves as a backup to the main
brake system if the main
system becomes inoperative.
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 under the seat or near the auxiliary brake.
Maintain the fluid level between the maximum and minimum marks.
Aggressively applying th e auxiliary brake when back ing down a h ill
may cause rear tipover, which could res ult in serious injury or
death.
Use caution when applying the auxiliar y brake. Do not
aggressively apply the aux iliary brake when going forward. The
rear wheels m ay skid and slide sideways, causing loss of c ontrol
and serious injur y or death.
