The hand brake is considered to be the

be applied whenever a braking situation
is needed.
Apply the brake by compressing the
brake lever toward the handlebar.
To engage and release the brake lever
lock, use the following procedure.
1. Squeeze the hand brake two or three
times and release it.
2. Depress and hold the brake lever
lock.
3. While holding in on the brake lever
lock, squeeze the brake lever.

NOTE: It will click as it engages
and the brake lever will not return to
its released position.
4. Release the brake lever lock by
squeezing the brake lever. It will
return to its released position.
Check to make sure the brake lever lock
engages properly and that the brake
(when engaged) locks the wheels.
1. Pump the brake lever 2 or 3 times.
2. Engage the brake lever lock.
3. Attempt to push the ATV.

NOTE: The brake lever lock must
lock the wheels. If it doesn't, take the
ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV
dealer for service.
Always check to be sure that the brake
lever lock has been disengaged before
operating the ATV. An accident could
result if the brake lever lock is left
engaged while the ATV is operated.
The brake may relax if left engaged for

a long period of time. This could
cause an accident; therefore, do not
leave the ATV on a hill depending on
the brake lever lock. Always block the
downhill side of the wheels if leaving
the ATV on a hill or park the ATV in a
sidehill position.
