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 will illuminate if the parking brake lever lock is

set while the engine is running. It will also illuminate 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.
