Victory XL-3

BRAKING INFORMATION
Your Victory XL-3 is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the
center/stop position; and
2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or
when power is removed from the system for any reason.
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that you know when the brakes will
engage, and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.
WARNING! Your Victory XL-3 can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn abruptly when
traveling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. If it is absolutely necessary to decelerate or
turn abruptly when traveling at high speed, brace yourself by gripping the tiller tightly and planting
your feet firmly against the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the tiller tightly and/or plant their
feet firmly against the floorboard should avoid decelerating from or turning abruptly at high speed,
and therefore should avoid traveling at high speed. Serious personal injury and property damage
can result from falling forward as your Victory XL-3 decelerates quickly unless you brace yourself
firmly.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs
(kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Victory XL-3 climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Victory XL-3 proceed rearwards down any step, kerb, or
other obstacle. This may cause the Victory XL-3 to tip and cause personal injury.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your Victory XL-3 is designed to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Victory XL-3 safely on lawns and in park
areas.
