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 igni-
tion setting as described on page 62. Always make sure the vehicle is
stopped and the engine is running at idle before shifting to reverse.
WARNING! Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss of
control, resulting in serious injury or death. Damage will occur to the chaincase
or transmission if shifting is attempted when the engine is operating above idle
speed.
• Shift to or from reverse only when the snowmobile is stopped and when
engine speed is at idle.
• Look behind the vehicle before and while backing.
• Avoid sharp turns.
• Apply throttle slowly.
Engaging Reverse
1. Stop the snowmobile and leave the engine idling.
2. Make sure the area behind your vehicle is clear.
3. Push the yellow reverse button on the left-hand control for one sec-
ond, 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 transmission is in reverse.
4. Apply the throttle slowly to make sure the transmission is in
reverse.
Tip: The maximum engine RPM will be 6000 when in reverse.
Tip: If the engine stops running, the snowmobile will be in forward gear when it's
restarted.
