FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Auxiliary Foot Brake
Aggressively applying the brakes when backing down a hill may cause rear
tipover. Aggressively applying the brakes while moving forward may cause the
rear wheels to skid and result in loss of control.
Read this owner's manual and understand the operation of all brake systems on
this vehicle. Always use caution whenever applying the brakes.
The auxiliary brake system is
intended to be used as a backup for
the main brake system. Should the
main system fail, use the auxiliary
foot brake.
The foot brake operates both front
and rear brakes. The brake is
located on the inside of the right
footrest. Press the brake pedal
down with your foot to apply the
brakes.
Brake Fluid Level
Check the brake fluid level
frequently for the auxiliary brake
system. The reservoir is located
under the front storage box. See
page 32.
Maintain the fluid level between
the maximum and minimum marks.
Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.
NOTICE: Do not use ADC fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir. ADC
fluid will damage the rubber
components of the brake
system.
