The iBR (intelligent Brake and Reverse) is an elec-
tronically controlled braking and reverse system.
The iBR module controls the position of the iBR
gate to provide forward thrust, reverse thrust,
braking thrust, and neutral.
The operator commands the position of the iBR
gate using either the throttle lever for forward
thrust, or the iBR lever for neutral, reverse, and
for the braking function.
The iBR lever is located on the LH side of the han-
dlebar.

When t
he iBR lever is pulled in, it operates the
brake
and reverse lever sensor (BRLS). It is a dou-
ble ou
tput hall effect sensor. The redundancy is
used
for security purposes.
The BRLS sends the signals to the iBR module.
The iBR module controls an electric motor that in
turn raises or lowers the iBR gate through a me-
chanical drive unit.
