3) Brake Lever
When the brake lever is compressed,
the front and rear brakes are applied.
When released, the brake lever should
automatically return to its original posi-
tion. Braking effect is proportional to
the force applied on the lever and to
the type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE:
As on other wheeled vehicles,
the vehicle weight is transferred to the
front wheels when braking. To obtain
greater stopping efficiency, the brake
system distributes more braking force
to the front wheels. This will affect
vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into
account when braking.

4) Parking Brake
When applied, it prevents the vehicle
from moving. Useful when the brake
needs to be locked for example when
doing a K-turn, during transportation or

engage the PARK position on the
transmission lever when the vehi-
cle is not in operation.
WARNING
Make sure parking brake is fully
disengaged before operating the
vehicle.
When you ride the vehicle, brakes
that are caused to drag by a con-
tinuous pressure on the lever may
cause damage to the brake system
and cause loss of braking capacity
and/or fire.
To engage mechanism:
Squeeze

ing lever lock.
