Auxiliary Brake
Your ATV's auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the
main brake system. Should the main system fail, the rear brake can be
activated by the brake lever being moving toward the handlebar. The hydraulic
brake system will not require adjustment.
NOTE:
Since this is rear brake only, it will not be as effective as the all-wheel system.
Checking
Although the parking brake has been adjusted at the factory, the brake should
be checked for proper operation. The mechanical brake must be maintained to
be fully functional.
1. With the engine off, apply parking brake lever and attempt the ATV to move.
2. If the rear wheels are locked, parking brake is adjusted properly.
3. If the wheels are not locked, parking brake must be adjusted.
Adjusting the parking brake
To adjust the mechanical parking brake, use following procedure:
Note: The adjusting on the caliper is for the wear out of the pads.
1. With the engine off, loosen the adjuster on the lever.
2. Loosen the jam nut of the adjuster on the caliper.
3. Turn the adjuster (bolt) clockwise by hand till the pad touch the brake disc,
turn the adjuster bolt counterclockwise by 1/4 to one turn for 10 to 20 mm free

it is important you apply the lever back and forth for operation, free play and
