Wait until the reverse alarm sounds and the DESS/RER pilot lamp begins to blink in the dash board before operating throttle to proceed in reverse.
16) Engine Cut-Out Switch This push-pull type switch is located on the right side of the handle- bar. To stop the engine, push the button to the lower position (OFF) and simultaneously apply the brakes. To restart, button must be at the upper position (ON).
All operators of the snowmobile should familiarize themselves with the function of this device by using it several times on first outing and whenever stopping the engine thereafter. Thereby this engine cut-out procedure will become a reflex and will prepare operators in emergen- cy situations requiring its use.
