CONTROLS
Light Switches
The light switch is located on the left handlebar. It’s used to turn the
lights on and off and to switch the lights from HI to LO. NOTE: The
lights won’t work unless the key is in the ON position and the shut-off
switchisintheRUN position.
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.
Operating the ATV on streets or roads, especially in darkness,
could result in an accident and serious injury or death.
Your ATV is not equipped with highway-approved lights. It’s
designed for and must be used for off-road use only. Use caution
and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility such
as fog, rain and darkness.
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.
