When driving in "4WD", all wheels (front and rear) are constantly driven by the drive train. This means that applying either the front brake (the right-hand brake lever) or the rear brake (the left -hand brake lever or the brake pedal) brakes both the front and rear wheels. Any brake application will brake the downhill wheels when climbing or descending hills. So, avoid sudden application of either the front or rear brakes. Apply both front and rear brakes gradually.

The Kawasaki Engine Brake Control System is applied automatically under certain conditions when the throttle is released. NOTE żThis system does not function in reverse.

HOW TO RIDE
j
Braking
•
Close the throttle completely.
•
Under most conditions stop by pulling in the front
brake lever and pressing down the rear brake
pedal.
•
To stop while riding in reverse, close the throttle
and gradually apply the brakes. Sudden applica-
tion of the rear brake or the front brake (when in
“4WD”) can cause the front end of the vehicle to
lift off the ground.
This ATV is equipped with electrically selectable
2WD/4WD. When driving in “4WD”, all wheels (front
and rear) are constantly driven by the drive train.
This means that applying either the front brake (the
right-hand brake lever) or the rear brake (the left
-hand brake lever or the brake pedal) brakes both
the front and rear wheels.
Any brake application
will brake the downhill wheels when climbing or de-
scending hills.
So, avoid sudden application of ei-
ther the front or rear brakes.
Apply both front and
rear brakes gradually.
•
Refer to the “Climbing Hills” and “Descending
Hills” sections in the SAFE OPERATION chapter
for the braking and riding techniques you must
use when climbing and descending hills.
This vehicle is equipped with the Kawasaki Engine
Brake Control System.
It can assist the operator
when descending hills by supplementing the wheel
brake systems with additional braking force that is
produced by the engine. When descending hills, this
system alone may not supply enough braking force.
The operator should apply the brakes to keep speed
safe for the terrain, visibility, operating conditions,
and your experience. The Kawasaki Engine Brake
Control System is applied automatically under cer-
tain conditions when the throttle is released.

This system does not function in reverse. It cannot
function if the battery is disconnected.
