MECHANICAL REVERSE

Skandic WT 550/SWT/WT 600/SUV 550/SUV 600

These models are equipped with a mechanical reverse controlled by
a 4-position gear shift lever.

TYPICAL

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.
