REVERSE
TRANSMISSION
(Lever Style Models)
The reverse transmission offers the
operator the convenience of being able
to back up the snowmobile rather than
having to turn the snowmobile around
by hand. This feature, under most situ-
ations, should not be used to free a
stuck snowmobile as it will tend to dig
the skis deeper into the snow. Before
starting the snowmobile, be sure the
shift lever is in the desired position for
either forward or reverse operation.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Always use minimal speed when oper-
ating in reverse and come to a complete
stop before shifting from either for-
ward to reverse or reverse to forward.

Use caution and minimal speed
when operating the snowmobile in
reverse. Be sure the shift lever is in
the desired lever position.
No special maintenance is required for
the reverse transmission; however, if
chattering is experienced when the
transmission is shifted into reverse, the
linkage may have to be adjusted. Arctic
Cat recommends taking the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. If not
under warranty, this service is at the
discretion and expense of the snowmo-
bile owner.
 NOTE: A warning buzzer will
sound when the transmission is in
the reverse position; however,
always check the position of the
shift lever before accelerating.
