Adjustment to safety switch on brake pedal.

goldstryker88 · 05-31-2017, 07:33 PM

Both Rhinos running flawlessly except...sometimes I can't get one of the units to start unless I stand on the brake pedal. Is there an adjustment that makes that switch more/less sensitive? I thought the actuator for this was in the brake lever housing on the handlebars. When I engage the brake lever it won't start...when I apply a normal amount of pressure on the foot pedal it won't start....when I apply a load of presssure on the brake pedal it starts right up.

The Rhino uses a standard motorcycle brake switch that can be adjusted. Only takes a minute. Find it at the back of the brake peddle lever attached with a small spring.

once you have that adjusted so the brake light comes on when depressed... put some silicone on the threads so they do not come out of adjustment again... can not tighten them up as they are plastic...
