Reverse Operation - Polaris 550 Transport Owner's Manual

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 on page 67. Always make sure the vehicle is
stopped and the engine is running at idle before shifting to reverse.
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 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.
