3. On the Bearcat 5000 XT if attempting
to shift into reverse at too high engine
RPM (above idle RPM), the reverse
function will be cancelled and the
coolant temperature warning icon will
flash. This indicates the reverse
switch button was pressed at too high
RPM. The operator must reduce
engine RPM below 4000 and press
the button a second time.
Operating in Reverse
1. When reverse is engaged, a reverse icon
will illuminate in the speedometer/
tachometer and a reverse alarm sounds.
2. On the 2000 models, the reverse
function will cancel if operated in
reverse longer than 45 seconds.
Whenever the reverse function has
been cancelled, the engine must be
run in the forward mode for a mini-
mum of 60 seconds at 2000 RPM
before the reverse function can be
used again.
NOTE: While operating in reverse, a
“rev-limiter” will activate at 6000 RPM.
3. To shift into forward, stop the snow-
mobile and allow the engine to idle
(under 3000 RPM); then press the
reverse button and release. The for-
ward selection will be complete.
4. After shifting from reverse to for-
ward (or from forward to reverse),
apply the throttle slowly and evenly
to allow the driven clutch to engage
properly.
5. The reverse function is cancelled
whenever the engine is shut off.
NOTE: An alarm will sound when
the
snowmobile
is
operated
in
reverse.
Adjustable/Movable
Backrest (Bearcat/Lynx
2000 LT)
The backrest is designed for maximum
comfort and safety. When riding double,
the backrest must be in the passenger seat
position.
To change the height of the backrest,
loosen the adjuster screw, move the back-
rest up or down to the desired position,
and tighten the adjuster screw to lock the
backrest in place.
744-610A
When riding single, the backrest can be
moved to the forward seat position.
To move the backrest, loosen, but do not
remove, the cap screw at the rear of seat,
install/adjust the passenger seat, and
tighten the cap screw securely.
CAUTION
Never shift into reverse while the
snowmobile is moving forward as it is
hard on the driven clutch torque
bracket and the cam rollers.
CAUTION
Never engage the electric starter or
pull the recoil starter rope when the
engine is running or when operating
in reverse. Damage to the engine and/
or either the electric start or recoil
start system will occur.
! WARNING
Do not use high speed when backing
up. Control could be lost and injury
could occur.
CAUTION
Do not use high speed when backing
up. Damage to the drive belt and
driven clutch components may occur.
CAUTION
After reversing in deep powder snow
conditions, make sure the snowflap
does not become “caught up” in the
track. Track and/or snowflap damage
may occur.
! WARNING
Moving the backrest to the forward
seat
position
limits
the
seating
capacity to one person only.
