To release lock, squeeze brake handle until lever returns to the unlock position.
The park brake light on the console will be lit when the park brake lever lock is set

brake light does not come on when park brake or service brake is in use, have it
serviced by your dealer.
WARNING
If the park brake lever lock is left partially or entirely engaged while riding the snow-
mobile, it could cause overheating of the brakes which could result in damage to
the brake caliper. In extreme cases it could cause a fire which could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
Check to See That the Hood is Securely Latched
The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving parts as well as aid-
ing in sound emission control and various other functions. Under no circum-
stances should your snowmobile be operated with the hood open or removed.
