Lock Engagement
To engage the lock, squeeze the

brake lever tightly and push for-

ward on the lock. Hold the lock

forward while releasing the

brake lever.

NOTICE: If the brake lever is squeezed tightly enough, the lock will move freely

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

The parking brake light on the gauge will light up if the parking brake

lever lock is set while 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. 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.
