Lock Engagement
To engage the lock, squeeze

push forward on the lock.

Hold the lock forward while

releasing the brake lever.

NOTE: 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 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 unlock 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.
