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.

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.

machine is in reverse.
NOTE: The maximum engine RPM will be 6000 when in reverse.

ward gear when it’s restarted.
