CONTROLS
Brake Lever
The front and r ear 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.

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.
