3) Brake Lever

Located on the left side of handlebar.
When the brake lever is compressed,
the front and rear brakes are applied.
When released, the brake lever should
automatically return to its original posi-
tion. Braking effect is proportional to
the force applied on the lever and to
the type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE: As on other wheeled vehicles,
the vehicle weight is transferred to the
front wheels when braking. To obtain
greater stopping efficiency, the brake
system distributes more braking force
to the front wheels. This will affect ve-
hicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into
account when braking.

4) Brake Lever Lock

Located on left side of handlebar on
the brake lever. When applied, it pre-
vents the vehicle from moving. Useful
when the brake needs to be locked for
example when doing a K-turn, during
transportation or when the vehicle is
not in operation.
WARNING
Always use the brake lever lock
and engage the PARK position on
the transmission lever when the
vehicle is not in operation.
WARNING
Make sure brake lever lock is fully
disengaged before operating the
ATV.
When you ride the vehicle, brakes
that are caused to drag by a con-
tinuous pressure on the lever may
cause damage to the brake sys-
tem and cause loss of braking ca-
pacity and/or fire.
To engage mechanism: Squeeze
brake lever and maintain while moving
lever lock. Brake lever is now com-
pressed and applying all brakes.
