Auxiliary Brake CONTROLS WARNING Aggressively applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death. Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control and serious injury or death. Your Polaris ATV has an auxiliary brake (1) for added safety. It's 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. If the rear wheels slide while using the auxiliary brake, reduce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear wheels without skidding. 1 35

Auxiliary Brake
WARNING
Aggressively applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a
hill may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or
death.
Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not
aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward. The
rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control
and serious injury or death.
Your Polaris ATV has an
auxiliary brake (1) for added
safety. It’s 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.
If the rear wheels slide while
using the auxiliary brake,
reduce
brake pedal pressure to
brake the rear wheels without
skidding.
