OPERATION

Electronic Reverse (PERC 4t)

Electronic reverse will activate only when the vehicle is stopped and

engine speed is below 2500 RPM. Maximum vehicle speed when oper-

ating in reverse will be approximately 12 MPH (19 km/h).

WARNING! Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss of

control, resulting in serious injury or death. Damage will occur to the gearcase 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 snowmobile before and while backing.
• Avoid sharp turns.
• Apply throttle slowly.

NOTICE: Engaging the starter when the engine is running WILL result in serious

engine damage, especially if the transmission is in reverse. Never

engage the starter when the engine is running.

Engaging Reverse

1. Stop the snowmobile and

leave the engine idling.

2. Make sure the area behind

your snowmobile is clear.

3. Push the yellow reverse but-

ton on the left-hand control

for one second, then release.

Tip: A 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: If the engine stops running, the transmission will be in forward gear when

it's restarted.
