Before Starting the Engine
n Parking Brake Lever Lock
Lock Release
To release the lock, squeeze the brake lever tightly and release it. The
lock will return to the unlocked position.
n Track
NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor
lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
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.
WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the possibility of
track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or
death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of track dam-
age and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time in
marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges,
and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would
include frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow
conditions.
