Braking - KYMCO MXU 150 Owner's Manual

BRAKING

Practice starting and stopping at slow
speeds. Gradually work up to faster starts
and stops.
1. Steer straight ahead. Close the throttle
completely, remove your thumb from the
throttle lever.
2. Gently apply the brakes: pull both hand
levers.
Gradually increase the lever or/and pedal
pressure as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed. The pressure used depends on your
speed and the condition of the terrain you are
riding. Slick , slippery or muddy ground
Pulling one or both brake levers or/and
depressing brake pedal too hard may cause
the front and/or rear wheels to skid or slide
out of control. If this happens, release all
pressure on the lever(s) immediately. Steer
straight ahead to regain control. Then gently
reapply the brakes.
Independent use of only the front or rear
brakes reduces stopping performance.
Extreme braking may cause the wheels to
lock, reducing control of the ATV
When possible, reduce speed or brake before
entering a turn. Closing the throttle or braking
in mid-turn may cause wheel slippage which
will reduce control of your ATV.
