BRAKING SYSTEMS

BRAKING SYSTEMS
Your ATV unit is equipped with dual front
hydraulic disc brakes and a rear hydraulic
disc brake. The front brakes (right) and rear
brake (left) are applied by squeezing the brake
lever on the right & left handle-bar , while the
four wheel simultaneous brakes are applied
by pressing the brake pedal on the right-footrest.
Proper maintenance of the brake system is a
necessary part of safe operation of your unit. The
brake systems should be inspected and tested
before each riding session.

The Brake Cables Inspection

Visually inspect the brake cables for any signs of
wear. Inspect the cables for frays and kinks that
Inhibit the free movement of the cable. Replace
frayed or kinked cable before operating your unit.
inspect the cables for rust or corrosion. Replace
any brake cable that show signs of corrosion as
this could cause a reduction in cable strength that
can lead to the cable breaking.
Test the brakes by applying pressure to the
brake lever and trying to push the unit forward. If
the wheel rotates while the brakes are applied,
adjust the brake cable until the wheels no longer
rotate.
(See Brake Adjustment)

The Brake Cables Adjustment

Adjust the brake cable so that the lever has zero
free play and a minimum clearance of
between the lever and the handle grip when the
brake is fully applied. Adjust the cable by using
the adjustment wheel where the cable attaches

to the lever assembly. After obtaining the correct
adjustment, insure that the locking nut is
tightened securely against the adjusting wheel to
prevent the adjustment wheel from turning due
to vibration. Keep your brake cables lubricated
with a high quality cable lubricant to prevent rust
and corrosion. The cables should be lubricated
every 60 days or more often if operated in a
dusty or wet environment.
Replacement of the brake cables should ONLY
be preformed by a qualified mechanic.

The Brake Hoses Inspection

Visually inspect the brake hose for any signs of
wear or leaks. Check the fluid level in the fluid
reservoir by checking the position of cup behind
the right-footrest.
The fluid level should fill at least
when the unit is setting on a level surface.
