22 GENERAL INFORMATION
REVERSE
TRANSMISSION
(Switch Button 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. Always
use minimal speed when operating in
reverse and come to a complete stop
before shifting from either forward to
reverse or reverse to forward. To shift
the reverse transmission, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Come to a complete stop.

NOTE: The snowmobile must be
at a complete stop and the engine
running under 3000 RPM before
the system will allow shifting.
2. With the engine at idle (under 3000
RPM), press the reverse switch but-
ton; then release the button. The
reverse selection will be complete.
741-438A

NOTE: The system will not shift
until the button is released.
3. To shift into forward, stop the
snowmobile and allow the engine
to idle (under 3000 RPM); then
press the button and release. The
forward selection will be complete.

NOTE: A warning buzzer will
sound when the transmission is in
the reverse position.
TOWING
If the snowmobile is to be towed by
another snowmobile, do not tow using
the loops in the skis. The tow rope
should be attached to the spindles.
ADJUSTABLE/
MOVABLE BACKREST
(T-Series Models)
The backrest is designed for maximum
comfort and safety. When riding dou-
ble, the backrest must be in the rear-
ward position.
When riding single, the backrest can be
moved to the forward position.
0742-494
To change the height of the backrest,
push the adjuster down, adjust the
backrest up or down, and raise the
adjuster to lock the backrest in place.
! WARNING
Use caution and minimal speed
when operating the snowmobile in
reverse. Be sure the button is in
the desired position.
! WARNING
Moving the backrest to the forward
position limits the seating capacity
to one person only.
