ATV Operation
Braking/Stopping
Coming to a stop should be a slow, easy
process. Always allow plenty of room
and time to stop smoothly. Sometimes
quick stops are inevitable, so always be
prepared. Whether you’re stopping
slowly or stopping quickly, do this:
1. Squeeze the brake lever on the left
handlebar to apply both the front
and rear brakes.
2. If your wheels lock, release them
for a second; then apply them again.
3. Never “ride” the brake. Even
maintaining minimal pressure on
the brake lever will cause the
brake pads to drag on the disc and
may overheat the brake fluid.
Parking
Parking involves following the previ-
ous rules for braking; then:
1. After the ATV stops, shift into
neutral.
2. Stop the engine using the ignition
switch.
3. Turn off the engine stop switch.
4. If you have to park on a hill, shift
the ATV into low gear; otherwise,
try to park only on level surfaces.
5. Engage the brake lever lock.
Dismounting the TRV
After you’ve followed the procedure
for parking, it’s time to dismount:
1. The operator should double check
that the brake lever lock is engaged.
2. The passenger should grasp the
left shoulder of the operator with
the right hand and with the left
hand grasp the left-side handhold;
then swing the right leg over the
seat and step to the ground on the
left side of the ATV.
3. The operator should swing the right
leg over to the left side of the seat.
4. The operator should step to the
ground on the left side of the ATV.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before attempting to shift from one
range to the other or into reverse.
Always shift on level ground, or
engage the brake lever lock before
shifting into another range or into
reverse.
! WARNING
Do not start the engine or operate
this ATV with the clutch shield
removed. Severe injury could result.
! WARNING
Excessive repetitive use of the
hydraulic brake for high speed
stops will cause overheating of the
brake fluid and premature brake
pad wear which will result in an
unexpected loss of brakes.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved brake
fluid. Never substitute or mix differ-
ent types or grades of brake fluid.
Brake loss can result. Check brake
fluid level and pad wear before
each use. Brake loss can result in
severe injury or even death.
