REVERSE OPERATION
(Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
Models)
The reverse transmission function
offers the operator the convenience of
being able to back up the snowmobile
rather than having to turn the snowmo-
bile around by hand. This feature,
under most situations, should not be
used to free a stuck snowmobile as it
will tend to dig the skis deeper into the
snow. Always use minimal speed when
operating in reverse and come to a
complete stop before shifting from
either forward to reverse or reverse to
forward. To shift the reverse transmis-
sion, use the following procedure:
