OPERATION

Reverse Operation

Electronic Reverse (PERCt)

Electronic reverse will activate only if the engine is below 4000 RPM.

If your machine is running at an altitude of over 6000 feet, adjust the

ignition setting as described under the heading Altitude Settings.

Always make sure the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running at

idle before shifting to reverse.
1. Make sure the area behind your vehicle is clear.
2. Push the yellow reverse button on the handlebar for one second, then

release. The engine will automatically reduce RPM and start a reverse

rotation. A flashing reverse light on the instrument panel will indicate

that the machine is in reverse.

3. Slowly apply the throttle until movement starts and you’re sure the

machine is in reverse.

NOTE: The maximum engine RPM will be 6000 when in reverse.
NOTE: If the engine stops running, the snowmobile will be in for-

ward gear when it’s restarted.

Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss

of control, resulting in serious injury or death.
