Before Starting the Engine

Parking Brake Lever Lock

Use the parking brake lever lock
only when you want the snowmo-
bile to remain stationary; for exam-
ple, when parked on an incline for a
period of five minutes or less.

Lock Engagement
To engage the lock, squeeze the
brake lever tightly and push for-
ward on the lock. Hold the lock for-
ward 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.
