Front and Rear Brakes
The brake fluid level should be checked before each ride. The reservoir is located
under the seat. The fluid should be kept between the maximum and minimum marks.
CAUTION
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and discard the rest. Do
not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it
rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. This causes the boiling temperature of the
brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of severe
injury.
Front and Rear Brakes
The front and rear brakes are located on the inside of the right floor board and are
operated by the right foot. The front and rear brakes are hydraulically activated disc
type brakes which are activated by one pedal only.
Always test brake pedal lever and reservoir fluid level before riding. When squeezed,
the lever should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low
master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your
dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
WARNING
Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling brake lever. Operating the ATV with a
spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking. Loss of braking could cause an
accident.
