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.
