OPERATION
Reverse Operation
Electronic Reverse (PERCt)
Electronic reverse will activate only if the engine RPM is below 4000. If
your machine is running at an altitude of over 6000 feet, adjust the igni-
tion setting as described below. Always make sure the vehicle is stopped
and the engine is running at idle before shifting to reverse.
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
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 trans-
mission is in reverse.
4. Apply the throttle slowly to make
sure the transmission 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 forward
gear when it's restarted.
