cation, adjustment and maintenance procedures.

Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while
installed on snowmobile.

The engine and components used in a particular model should not
be used on other models. Use of Rotax ™ snowmobile engines
in other than SKI-DOO snowmobiles is not recommended or au-
thorized by BRP or its subsidiaries.

Electronic reverse (RER™) models only: The shifting to reverse
mode on these snowmobiles is done by the push of the RER
button when the engine is running. Wait until the reverse alarm
sounds and the Rotax Electronic Reverse (RER) pilot lamp comes
on in the dashboard before operating throttle to proceed in re-
verse. The reverse speed of these snowmobiles is not limited.
Always proceed with caution as fast reverse could result in loss
of vehicle stability and control. Come to complete stop before de-
pressing RER button. Always remain seated and apply the brake
before shifting. Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or
bystanders before proceeding.

verse. Always remain seated and apply the brake before shifting.
