Press down on the UXV500’s brake pedal. If the pedal does not
feel firm, or if it feels soft or "weak," the brake system could be low
on fluid or have a leak. Is so, refer to the GENERAL MAINTE-
NANCE section of this manual for instructions. Do not use your
UXV500 unless the brakes are operating normally.
Test the parking brake to confirm that it locks the wheels into po-
sition, then disengage it to release the brake. The brakes on your
Side-by-Side vehicle are essential for safety and could fail if they
are not maintained properly.

Your UXV500’s accelerator pedal should have a free, smooth range
of motion. If it seems to "stick" at any point, or does not return
when released, refer to the GENERAL MAINTENANCE section
of this manual for instructions. Driving your UXV500 with a stick-
ing accelerator can cause you to lose control of your vehicle and
may cause an accident. Do not drive your UXV500 if the accel-
erator action is not smooth and the pedal does not return after it is
released.

2 . Tire surface (tread and sidewall)
While checking your UXV500's tire pressure, inspect the tread
and the sidewalls of the tires for cracks, cuts, or other damage.
Immediately replace any tire that is damaged..
