OPERATION Electronic Reverse (PERCt) Electronic reverse will activate only if the engine RPM is below 4000. If your machine is running at an altitude of over 6000 feet, adjust the ignition setting as described on page 59. Always make sure the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running at idle before shifting to reverse Tip: The engine will activate a misfire mode and begin to stutter after 45 seconds in reverse. This feature protects the engine from overheating and will reset when it is shifted into forward or when the engine is stopped and restarted. WARNING! Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or death. Damage will occur to the chaincase or transmission if shifting is attempted when the engine is operating above idle speed. • Shift to or from reverse only when the snowmobile is stopped and when engine speed is at idle. • Look behind the vehicle before and while backing. • Avoid sharp turns. • Apply throttle slowly. 58
