GENERAL INFORMATION 43 The lever on the left side of the handlebar operates the rear brake, and it can be used for a parking brake by using the brake lever lock at the brake lever (see Brake Lever Lock). The foot pedal on the right side also operates the rear brake. j A. Brake Pedal A. Brake Lever (Parking Brake) B. Brake Lever Lock This ATV is equipped with the electrically selectable 2WD/4WD. When driving in "4WD", all wheels (front and rear) are constantly driven by the drive train, so that applying either the front brake (the right hand brake lever) or the rear brake (the left hand brake lever or the brake pedal) slows both the front and rear wheels. When climbing or descending hills any brake application will slow the downhill wheels, so avoid sudden application of either the front or rear brakes. Apply both front and rear brakes gradually. Refer to the HOW TO RIDE and SAFE OPERATION chapters for more instructions on braking.

A. Brake Pedal
This ATV is equipped with the electrically se-
lectable 2WD/4WD. When driving in “4WD”,
all
wheels (front and rear) are constantly driven by the
drive train, so that applying either the front brake
(the right hand brake lever) or the rear brake (the
left hand brake lever or the brake pedal) slows
both the front and rear wheels.
When climbing or
descending hills any brake application will slow the
downhill wheels, so avoid sudden application of
either the front or rear brakes. Apply both front and
rear brakes gradually.

TION chapters for more instructions on braking.
