3. If attempting to shift into reverse at
too high engine RPM (above 3000
RPM), the reverse function will be
cancelled and the coolant tempera-
ture warning icon will flash. This
indicates the reverse switch button
was pressed at too high RPM. The
operator must reduce engine RPM
below 3000 and press the button a
second time.
4. Upon pressing the reverse switch
button, the reverse function will
make up to three attempts to engage
into reverse. If the function is not
completed after the third attempt,
the engine will shut down.
Operating in Reverse (800
cc Models)
1. When reverse is engaged, a reverse
icon will illuminate in the speedom-
eter/tachometer and a reverse alarm
will sound.
2. If the throttle lever is compressed
before complete reverse engage-
ment, the engine may shut down.
Always wait for the reverse icon to
illuminate and the reverse alarm to
sound before backing up.
3. The system will not shift until the but-
ton is released. Also, the reverse func-
tion will cancel if operated in reverse
longer than 45 seconds. Whenever the
reverse function has been cancelled,
the engine must be run in the forward
mode for a minimum of 60 seconds at
2000 RPM before the reverse function
can be used again.
NOTE: While operating in reverse,
a “rev-limiter” will activate at 6500
RPM.
4. To shift into forward, stop the snow-
mobile and allow the engine to idle
(under 3000 RPM); then press the
reverse button and release. The for-
ward selection will be complete.
5. 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.
6. The reverse function is cancelled
whenever the engine is shut off.
Shifting Into Reverse
(1100 cc Models)
741-438A
CAUTION
Never shift into reverse while the
snowmobile is moving forward as it is
hard on the driven pulley torque
bracket and the cam rollers.
CAUTION
Never pull the recoil starter rope when
the engine is running or when operat-
ing in reverse. Damage to the engine
and/or recoil start system will occur.
! WARNING
Do not use high speed when backing
up. Control could be lost and injury
could occur.
CAUTION
Do not use high speed when backing
up. Damage to the drive belt and
driven pulley components may occur.
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.
