PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Park Brake Lever Lock

Your snowmobile has a park brake lever lock located over the brake

lever. Use the brake lever lock when you want the machine to remain

stationary; for example, when parked on an incline for a period of five

minutes or less. To apply the lock, squeeze the brake handle and push

forward on the brake lever lock. Hold the lock forward and release the

brake handle.
If the brake handle is squeezed tightly enough, the lock will move

freely into place. Do not force the lock or it may break. To release the

lock, squeeze and release the brake lever. The lever will return to the

unlocked position. The brake light on the console will light up when

the park brake lever is locked and the engine is running. It will also be

lit when the service brake is in use. If the brake light does not come on

when the park brake or service brake is in use, have it serviced by your

dealer.

If the park brake lever lock is partially or entirely engaged while

riding, overheating of the brakes could occur, resulting in brake

damage. In extreme cases it could cause a fire, which could result

in serious injury or death. Always release the park brake lock

before operating the snowmobile.
