Shifting Into Reverse
Reverse Switch Button

NOTE: Correct drive belt tension
(deflection) is important for the
reverse function to operate prop-
erly. If the belt is too tight, difficulty
in engaging reverse will be experi-
enced.
1. Always warm up the engine for 2-3
minutes prior to shifting into reverse.
2. With the engine at idle (or under
3000 RPM) and the snowmobile at a
complete stop, press and release the
reverse switch button.

NOTE: The snowmobile must be
at a complete stop and the engine
running under 3000 RPM before
the system will allow shifting.
3. When reverse is engaged, a reverse
icon will illuminate on the deluxe
digital gauge and a reverse alarm
will sound.
CAUTION
Never shift into reverse while the
snowmobile is moving forward as it
is hard on the drive system.
Operating in Reverse
WARNING
Use caution and minimal speed
when operating the snowmobile in
reverse. Be sure the button is in the
desired position.
1. When shifting into reverse, always
wait for the reverse icon to illumi-
nate and the reverse alarm to sound
before backing up.

NOTE: The reverse function is can-
celled whenever the engine is shut off.

2. After shifting from reverse to for-
ward (or from forward to reverse),
apply the throttle slowly and evenly
to allow the driven pulley to engage
properly.
After reversing in deep powder
snow conditions, make sure the
snowflap does not become "caught
up" in the track. Track and/or
snowflap damage may occur.

If the snowmobile is equipped with
ice scratchers, the scratchers must
be disengaged or component dam-
age will occur.
