BRAKING
To stop the LT-F400/F, first release
the throttle lever. Next, apply the
front and rear brakes evenly and
at the same time. As vehicle
speed decreases, shift down
through the gears.
WARNING
Braking while turning the ATV
can be hazardous.
Use of the brake when turning
could cause the ATV to slide or
roll over.
Use the brakes to slow down
before you begin to turn.
WARNING
Braking hard on slippery sur-
faces can be hazardous.
The ATV can skid and go out of
control if you brake too hard.
Apply the brakes lightly and
with care on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
Operating the parking brake
lock when the ATV is moving
can be hazardous.
The rear wheels can lock, caus-
ing a skid and an accident.
Use the parking brake only
after you stop the ATV.
WARNING
Braking on hills can be hazard-
ous.
As the LT-F400F is four-wheel
drive, using either the front
brake alone or the rear brake
alone will actually brake all four
wheels. Therefore, any applica-
tion of the brakes will result in
braking force being applied to
the downhill wheels. This could
cause the vehicle to overturn.
Be extra careful when braking
on a hill.
