PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
LEVER FEEL
If the brake lever feels "spongy" when squeezed, check the brake fluid level and
condition. Add fluid as needed. See page 115.
WARNING
Continued use of "spongy" brakes may cause a complete loss of brakes, which
could result in serious injury or death. Always have the brakes serviced at the
first sign of sponginess.
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
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.
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 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.
