Parking Brake Lever Lock

Use the parking brake lever lock only

when you want the snowmobile to

remain stationary; for example, when

parked on an incline for a period of

five minutes or less.
1. Brake Lever
2. Parking 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.

Tip: 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.
