Hand brake
Fig. 14
By pulling the hand brake lever (1) toward the handlebar, the brakes on all four wheels
are actuated hydraulically. The hand brake serves as addition to the foot brake (main
brake). The hand brake can also be used as parking brake.
Using the hand brake as parking brake:
1. Pull hand brake lever (1) two to three times towards the handlebar and then
release.
2. Push brake lever lock (2) towards the handlebar and hold.
3. Pull hand brake lever (1) until the brake lever lock (2) engages.
4. Release hand brake lever (1).
5. Check if the brake lever lock (2) has engaged correctly and the wheels are
locked.
Releasing the parking brake:
1. Pull hand brake lever (1) towards the handlebar.
2. Release hand brake lever (1). The hand brake lever returns to its starting posi-
tion.
WARNING
The hand brake may become
ineffective when activated over a
longer period of time. This may
lead to accidents. Therefore,
never park the vehicle on an up
or down gradient with only the
hand brake blocked. Always
actuate the parking brake, too.
NOTE
When the brake lever lock (2) engages, a clicking noise is heard. The brake
lever (1) does not return to its starting position after releasing. The wheels
shall be locked. If this is not the case, have the vehicle serviced at an author-
ised Arctic Cat specialist repair shop.
WARNING
Before driving, check if the hand brake is released.
