Auxiliary Brake

Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not
aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward or the
rear wheels may skid and slide sideways causing loss of control.
Your Polaris ATV has an auxiliary brake (1) provided as a safety
feature. It is located on the inside of the right floor board and is
operated by the right foot. It is intended as a backup to the main brake
system, especially if the main system becomes inoperative.
If the rear wheels slide, reduce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear
wheels without skidding. Aggressively applying the rear brake when
backing down a hill may cause rear tip over.
Brake Fluid Level
It will be necessary to check the brake fluid level for the auxiliary
brake system. The reservoir is located under the seat or near the foot
brake. The fluid should be kept between the maximum and minimum
marks.
