WARNING
Test the throttle lever operation
each time before starting the en-
gine. The lever must return to its
original position once released.
Otherwise, do not start engine.
5) Brake Lever
Located on the left hand side of han-
dlebar. When squeezed, the brake is
applied. When released, it automat-
ically returns to its original position.
Braking effect is proportional to the
pressure applied on the lever and to
the type of terrain and its snow cov-
erage.
6) Parking Brake Lever
Located on left hand side of handlebar.
Parking brake should be used whenev-
er snowmobile is parked.
Whenever parking brake is applied
and engine is running, injection oil lev-
el/parking brake pilot lamp lights up to
remind you that it is engaged.
WARNING
Make sure parking brake is fully
disengaged before operating the
snowmobile. When you ride the
vehicle, brake pads that are caused
to drag by a continuous pressure
on the lever may cause damage to
the brake system and cause loss of
braking capacity and/or fire.
To Engage Mechanism
Squeeze brake lever and maintain
while pulling locking lever with a fin-
ger.
When brake lever is held at
halfway the parking brake should be
fully applied.
NOTE:
Locking lever can be adjusted
in two different positions.
To Release Mechanism
Squeeze brake lever. Locking lever
will automatically return to its origi-
nal position. Always release parking
brake before riding.
7) RER Button
General
When the engine is running, depress-
ing the RER button will command the
engine to reverse crankshaft rotation
as driving the snowmobile in reverse
is achieved by changing the direction
of rotation of the engine, not by shift-
ing the chaincase in reverse gear.
When depressing the RER button, the
electronic module will practically slow
down the engine RPM to a stop and
advance the ignition timing to cause
crankshaft rotation reversing.
Engine will automatically shift into for-
ward when starting after stopping or
stalling.
Shifting procedure will take place only
when the engine is running.
If engine is running at a speed above
4300 RPM, the reverse function of the
RER button is cancelled.
It is recommended to warm up the en-
gine to its normal operating tempera-
ture before shifting.
