RPM) and the snowmobile at a com-
plete stop, press and release the
reverse switch button.

icon will illuminate on the deluxe
digital gauge and a reverse alarm
will sound.

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