OPERATION
Reverse Operation (Electronic)
Forward
When running in reverse, again push the yellow reverse button on the
left-hand control for one second and release. The engine will slow and
and begin to rotate forward. The light on the instrument panel will
shut off. Make sure the area around you is clear and apply throttle
slowly until you’re certain you’re going forward.
NOTE: If the engine has stopped running, the snowmobile will run
forward the next time it’s started.
Altitude Setting
At higher altitudes (above 6000 feet), the engine will require a different
ignition setting to improve the success of this reverse system.
To set for higher altitude: start the engine and hold the button down
until the light on the instrument panel flashes rapidly, then release the
button. This is the setting for higher elevations. To set the reverse for
lower elevations, remain holding the button down until the reverse
indicator light blinks slowly. Once set, it’s held in memory until
changed, whether the machine is running or not.
Daily Storage
At the end of your ride, park
the snowmobile on a level
surface and support it at the
rear with the appropriate track
stand. The track should be
suspended approximately 4
″
(20 cm) off the ground.
Remove the key and cover the
machine.
NOTE: Polaris has accessory
covers and track stands avail-
able to fit all models. See
your dealer for more informa-
tion.
