Rear Foot Brake - Arctic Cat XC 450 Operator's Manual

Hand Brake Levers/
Brake Lever Lock
The left hand brake is used to
apply braking to the rear wheels
when in two wheel drive; how-
ever, when operating in four
wheel drive, braking will be
applied to all four wheels.
Apply the brake by compressing
the brake lever toward the handlebar.
The right hand brake is used to apply braking to the front wheels when
in two wheel drive; however, when operating in four wheel drive,
braking will be applied to all four wheels.
The right hand brake also is equipped with a brake lever lock. To
engage and release the brake lever lock, use the following procedure.
1. Squeeze the hand brake lever two or three times and release it.
2. Depress and hold the brake lever lock.
3. While holding in on the brake lever lock, squeeze the brake lever.

NOTE: It will click as it engages and the brake lever will not
return to its released position.
4. Attempt to push the ATV. Check to make sure the brake lever lock
engages properly and that the brake (when engaged) locks the
wheels.

NOTE: The brake lever lock must lock the front wheels. If it
doesn't, take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer
for service.
Always check to be sure that the brake lever lock has been
disengaged before operating the ATV. An accident could
result if the brake lever lock is left engaged while the ATV is
KC377A
operated. The brake may relax if left engaged for a long
period of time. This could cause an accident; therefore, do
not leave the ATV on a hill depending on the brake lever lock.
Always block the downhill side of the wheels if leaving the
ATV on a hill or park the ATV in a sidehill position.

NOTE: To lock all four wheel with the brake lever lock, turn
the ignition switch to the ON position and select four wheel
drive on the drive select switch (4WD); then engage the
brake lever lock.
5. Release the brake lever lock by squeezing the brake lever. It will
return to its released position.
