WARNING
Operating with improperly serviced or adjusted
brakes could cause the brakes to malfunction,
resulting in reduced braking performance.
This could increase the chance of a collision or
accident. After adjusting the parking brake free
play, block the rear of the ATV off the ground
and spin the rear wheels. Check to make sure
there is no brake drag. If brake drag is noticed,
perform the adjustment again.
