NOTE: This section gives basic func-
tions of the various controls of your
ATV. For more details of how to oper-
ate one control in conjunction with
some others, refer to OPERATING IN-
STRUCTIONS in this Operator's Guide
and Safety Handbook .

1) Throttle Lever

Located on the right side of handlebar.
When pushed, it increases the engine
speed that allows the engagement of
the transmission on the selected gear.
When released, the engine speed
should return automatically to idle and
the vehicle will gradually slow down.

2) Front Brake Lever

Located on the right side of handlebar.
When compressed, the brake is ap-
plied. When released, it should auto-
matically return to its original position.
Braking effect is proportional to the
force applied on the lever and to the
type and condition of the terrain. The
front brake will have also an effect on
rear wheels through the drive train.
See the note at rear brake lever be-
low for additional information.

3) Rear Brake Lever

Located on the left side of handlebar.
When compressed, the brake is ap-
plied. When released, it should auto-
matically return to its original position.
Braking effect is proportional to the
force applied on the lever and to the
type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE: Using the rear brake will have
also an effect on front wheels because
they are interconnected through the
drive train. As on other wheeled vehi-
cles, the vehicle weight is transferred
to the front wheels when braking. To
obtain greater stopping efficiency, the
brake system applies more strength
to the front brakes. This will affect ve-
hicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into
account when braking.
