Important Safeguards
The parking brake may relax when left on for a long period of time.
This could cause an accident.
Do not leave the vehicle on a hill depending on the parking
brake for more than five minutes.
Always put the gear selector in park and block the downhill side of
the wheels if leaving the ATV on a hill or park the ATV in a side
hill position.
Always check to be sure that the parking brake has been
disengaged before operating the ATV. An accident could result
causing severe injury if the parking brake is left on while the ATV
is operated.
