AUXILIARY FOOT BRAKE
WARNING
Never back down a hill. 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.
The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the main
brake system. Should the main system fail, use the auxiliary foot brake
q
. The
foot brake applies brake pressure to the rear wheels. If using the foot brake,
squeeze the hand brake simultaneously to prevent tipover.
The auxiliary foot brake is
located on the inside of the right
footrest. Operate this brake with
your right foot.
If the rear wheels slide while
using the auxiliary brake, reduce
brake pedal pressure to brake
the rear wheels without skidding.
NOTICE
Operating a new vehicle or a vehicle with new brake pads requires a break-in
period to prevent brake pad or rotor damage. For brake system break-in
information, see the Operation chapter.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Check the brake fluid level frequently for the auxiliary brake system. The
reservoir is located under the front storage box.
Maintain the fluid level between the maximum and minimum marks. Use DOT 4
brake fluid only.
