BRAKE CONTROLS
Front Brakes
Rear Brake
Parking Brake
The front brakes are operated by squeezing the front brake lever, near
the right handgrip.
The rear brake is operated either by depressing the brake pedal or by
squeezing the rear brake lever (Fig.
).
Although the front and rear brakes have separate controls, your
FOURTRAX’s four-wheel drive interconnects all four wheels. So operat-
ing any brake control will cause braking at both the front and rear
wheels. For information on how to apply the brakes in various riding
situations, see pages
.
The rear brake lever has a lock which allows it to be used as a parking
brake.
To set the parking brake, squeeze the rear brake lever (
) and lock it
with the lock lever (
). Always set the parking brake when parking and
before starting the engine.
To unlock the parking brake, squeeze the rear brake lever until the lock
lever releases.
Using the parking brake in freezing weather may cause the brakes to
freeze in the locked position.
