CONTROL AND PARTS FUNCTIONS
Auxiliary Mechanical Brake
Your Polaris ATV has an auxiliary mechanical brake provided as a safety feature.
It is located on the inside of the right floor board and is operated by the right foot.
It is intended as a backup to the hydraulic brake system, especially if the hydraulic
system becomes inoperative.
WARNING: Use caution when applying the auxiliary mechanical brake. Do
not aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward or the rear wheels
may skid and slide sideways causing loss of control. If the rear wheels slide, re-
duce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear wheels without skidding. Aggressive-
ly applying the rear brake when backing down a hill may cause rear tip over.
The auxiliary brake system is mechanical and requires periodic adjustment. If ad-
justment is necessary, please refer to page 106.
