Before Starting the Engine

Park Brake Lever Lock

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

brake lever. Use the 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. To apply the lock, squeeze the brake

handle and push forward on the brake lever lock. Hold the lock

forward and release the brake handle.
If the brake handle is squeezed tightly enough, the lock will move

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

lock, squeeze the brake handle until the lever returns to the unlock

position. The park brake light on the console will light up when the

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

when the service brake is in use. If the park brake light does not come

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

your dealer.

WARNING

If the park brake lever lock is partially or entirely engaged while

riding, overheating of the brakes could occur, resulting in brake

damage. In extreme cases it could cause a fire, which could

result in serious injury or death.
