Important Safeguards
S The parking brake may relax if left on for a long period of time. Al-
ways block the wheels to prevent rolling.
S Always block the wheels on the downhill side of the ATV if leaving
it parked on a hill. Another option is to park the ATV in a sidehill
position.
S Never depend on the parking brake alone if the ATV is parked on a
hill. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.
Operating the ATV while the parking brake is engaged could
result in an accident and serious injur y or death.
Always check to be sure the parking brake is disengaged
before operating.
