Readjust throttle lever housing and brake lever housing accordingly
to optimal angle so that you will not need to release your grip to
operate levers.
6) Start/RER Button
General
The START/RER button has two functions.
When the engine is not running, depressing the START/RER button
will engage the electric starter on vehicle so equipped and start the
engine.
When the engine is running, depressing the START/RER button will
command the engine to reverse crankshaft rotation as driving the
snowmobile in reverse is achieved by changing the direction of rota-
tion of the engine, not by shifting the chaincase in reverse gear.
When depressing the START/RER button, the MPEM (Multi-Purpose
Electronic Module) will practically slow down the engine RPM to a
stop and advance the ignition timing to cause crankshaft rotation re-
versing.
Engine will automatically shift into forward when starting after stop-
ping or stalling.
Shifting procedure will take place only when the engine is running.

WARNING
Adjust with vehicle at rest in a safe place. Securely retighten
all fasteners. Never rotate throttle lever to operate with fingers
instead of thumb.

WARNING
The shifting in reverse mode on these snowmobiles is done by
the push of the START/RER button when the engine is running.
Wait until the reverse alarm sounds and the DESS/RER indica-
tor lamp comes on in the cluster gauge before operating throt-
tle to proceed in reverse. The reverse speed of these snowmo-
biles is not limited. Always proceed with caution as fast
reverse could result in loss of vehicle stability. Come to com-
plete stop before selecting reverse gear. Always remain seated
and apply the brake before shifting. Ensure the path behind is
clear of obstacles or bystanders before preceeding.
