HOW TO RIDE 73 Braking the throttle completely. • Close 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 application 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 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 certain conditions when the throttle is released. j 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 descending hills. So, avoid sudden application of either 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 system does not function in reverse. It cannot function if the battery is disconnected. NOTE
