Park Brake Lever Lock
Use the park 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.
1. Brake Lever
2. Park Brake Lever Lock
3. Master Cylinder Reservoir /
Cover
4. Fluid Level Indicator
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 lever is squeezed tightly enough, the lock will
move freely into place. Do not force the lock or it may break.
The park brake light on the gauge, will light up if the park brake lever
lock is set while 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.
Lock Release
To release the lock, squeeze the brake lever tightly. The lock will
return to the unlock position.
WARNING
If the park 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.

Recoil Rope
Inspect the recoil rope and handle for excessive wear, and make sure
the knot securing the rope inside the handle is secure. If excessive
wear is found, see your Polaris dealer for replacement.
