Shifting Procedure
CAUTION:
Upshift only when engine is idling and speed is below
20 km/h (12 MPH).
With snowmobile completely stopped and engine at idle, move lever
to engage in desired gear.
Maximum speed in first gear is 60 km/h (37 MPH).
Do not force lever. If unable to shift, apply throttle to move snowmo-
bile, stop vehicle, then try again.
WARNING
The reverse speed of these snowmobiles is not limited. Always
proceed with caution as fast reverse could result in loss of ve-
hicle stability and control. Come to complete stop before se-
lecting reverse gear. Wait until the reverse alarm sounds be-
fore operating throttle to proceed in reverse. Always remain
seated and apply the brake before shifting. Ensure the path
behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding.
