Parking Brake
Warning:
 Do not attempt to place the transmission into “Park” while the vehicle is in
motion. Always stop the unit completely before attempting to shift.

The vehicle’s gear shift lever comes properly adjusted from the factory so
that the park gear is fully engaged and will not slip. During every pre-ride
inspection, check that the gear shift lever is fully engaged into “Park” and
will not slip out of gear. Have your authorized dealer annually inspect,
lubricate, adjust, or replace the shifter cable.

When your vehicle is not in use or the key is switched to the “off” position,
always place the transmission in “Park.”

Always tie down your vehicle with chains or straps when transporting it on a
truck or trailer. Never rely on the parking brake alone. See “Transporting
Your Intimidator.”
Your Intimidator is equipped with a “Park” gear. While your vehicle is in “Park”
with the engine off, both rear wheels will lock. Your vehicle’s transmission should
be set in “Park” at all times when not in use. If you have hauling or towing heavy
loads, always park on level ground. To engage the parking brake, stop the
vehicle completely and use the shift lever to move the transmission to the “Park”
gear.
Stand‐Alone Parking Brake
Warning:
 Improper operation of the parking brake system can result in damage to the
brakes and drive system.

Do not attempt to engage stand-alone parking brake while the vehicle is in
motion.

Allow 5 seconds after disengaging stand-alone parking brake for the
system to fully disengage prior to moving the vehicle.
Intimidator crew and truck models can be equipped with a stand-alone parking
brake system that locks the rear wheels.
To engage the parking brake:
1. Safely bring the vehicle to a complete stop on a flat, level surface and shift
the transmission into “Park.”
2. Press the toggle switch on the dash to engage the parking brake. A small
LED light will illuminate to indicate that the system is engaged.
3. Shut down the engine before removing the seat belt and exiting the vehicle.
