FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Auxiliary Brake
WARNING
Aggressively applying the rear brake when backing down a hill
may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or
death. If the rear brake is applied aggressively while moving
forward, the rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing
loss of control and serious injury or death.
Always use caution when applying the auxiliary foot brake. Do
not apply the auxiliary foot brake aggressively.
The auxiliary foot brake (1) is
located on the inside of the right
floor board and is operated by
the right foot. The auxiliary
brake serves as a backup to the
main brake system if the main
system becomes inoperative. It
activates the rear brakes only.
If the rear wheels slide while
using the auxiliary brake,
reduce
brake pedal pressure to brake the rear wheels without skidding.
Check the brake fluid level frequently for the auxiliary brake system.
The reservoir is located under the seat or near the foot brake. Maintain
the fluid level between the maximum and minimum marks.
