Checking/Adjusting Rear Wheel Hydraulic
Brake System
The rear wheel hydraulic brake system should be checked for proper
operation before every time the ATV is ridden.
NOTE: The rear wheels should spin freely when the left
handlebar lever is not compressed.
1. Push the ATV forward and compress the left handlebar brake lever.
2. If the rear wheels lock, the hydraulic brake system is operating
properly. If they do not lock, service is necessary.
Checking Parking Brake
1. With engine turned off and with
the parking brake locked,
attempt to move the ATV.
2. If rear wheels are locked, brake
is operating properly.
3. If rear wheels are not locked,
adjust the parking brake.
NOTE: The rear wheels
should spin freely with the park-
ing brake released.
Adjusting Parking Brake
NOTE: The parking brake
lever must be in the off position
when adjusting the parking
brake cable.
1. Loosen the jam nut (A); then fin-
ger tighten the adjuster bolt (B)
until resistance is felt.
2. Loosen the adjuster bolt (B)
1/8-1/4 turn.
3. While holding the adjuster bolt (B), tighten the jam nut (A)
securely.
NOTE: There should be no resistance on the brake disc
from the brake pads after adjusting.
Gas/Vent Hoses
Do not bend or obstruct the routing of the carburetor vent hose. Make
certain that the vent hose is securely connected to the carburetor and
hose holder and the opposite end is always open.
Protective Rubber Boots
The protective boots should be inspected periodically.
Suspension/Steering Arm Assembly (Right
and Left)
1. Secure the ATV on a support stand to elevate the front wheels.
2. Remove both front wheels.
3. Inspect the suspension/steering arm assembly boots for cracks,
tears, or perforations.
CAUTION
Check through the rear brake reservoir sight glass that the fluid
level is above the LOWER level line. If below the line, take the
ATV to an authorized dealer for service.
