Parking Brake Lever Lock

Your snowmobile may have a parking brake lever lock located over the

brake lever. Use the parking brake lever lock only when you want the

machine to remain stationary; for example, when parked on an incline

for a period of five minutes or less.

Lock Engagement
To engage the lock, squeeze the brake lever tightly and push forward

on the lock. Hold the lock forward while releasing the brake lever.

NOTE:

If the brake handle is squeezed tightly enough, the lock will move

freely into place. Do not force the lock or it may break.

The brake light on the console will light up when the parking brake

lever lock is set and the engine is running. It will also be lit when the

service brake is in use. If the parking brake light does not come on

when the parking brake or service brake is in use, have it serviced by

your dealer.
Lock Release
To release the lock, squeeze the brake lever tightly and release it. The

lock will return to the unlocked position.

WARNING

If the parking brake lever lock is partially or entirely engaged while riding,

the brakes may overheat, resulting in brake damage. In extreme cases it

could cause a fire, which could result in serious injury or death. Always

ensure that the lever lock is completely disengaged before operating the

snowmobile.
