4. Bleed the brake system (see Bleeding Brake
System in this sub-section).
NOTE: If new brake pads were installed, a bur-
nishing process is required. Drive the snowmobile
slowly and compress the brake lever repeatedly
until the pads just start to heat up; then allow them
to cool down. This process stabilizes the pad
material and extends the life of the pads.

compress the plastic locking tabs by pushing in on
the tabs; then slide the switch free of the brake
control.
