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.

2. Park Brake Lever Lock

3. Master Cylinder Reservoir /

Cover

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.
