GETTING READY TO RIDE Check Before Starting Engine Park Brake Lever Lock Your snowmobile may have a park brake lever lock located over the brake lever. Use the brake lever lock only 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 the brake handle until the lever returns to the unlock position. The park brake light on the console will light up when the park brake lever lock is set and the engine is running. It will also be lit when the service brake is in use. If the park brake light does not come on when the park brake or service brake is in use, have it serviced by your dealer. 1. Brake Handle 2.

In extreme cases it could cause a fire, which could result in serious injury or death. 69
