Engaging Reverse
1. Stop the snowmobile and leave the engine idling.
2. Make sure the area behind your vehicle is clear.
3. Push the yellow reverse button on the left-hand control for one sec-
ond, then release. The engine will automatically reduce RPM and
start a reverse rotation. A flashing reverse light on the instrument
panel will indicate that the machine is in reverse.
4. Apply the throttle slowly to make sure the machine is in reverse.
NOTE: The maximum engine RPM will be 6000 when in reverse.
NOTE: If the engine stops running, the snowmobile will be in forward gear when
it's restarted.
Disengaging Reverse
1. Stop the snowmobile and leave the engine idling.
2. Push the yellow reverse button for one second and release. The
engine will slow and and begin to rotate forward. The light on the
instrument panel will shut off.
3. Apply the throttle slowly to make sure the machine is in forward.
Altitude Setting
At higher altitudes (above 6000 feet), the engine will require a different
ignition setting to improve the success of the reverse system. To set for a
higher altitude, start the engine and hold the button down until the light
on the instrument panel flashes rapidly, then release the button.
To set the reverse for lower elevations, continue holding the button
down until the reverse indicator light blinks slowly. Once set, it's stored
in memory until changed, whether the machine is running or not.
