START/RER button
START/RER button has two functions.
When the engine is not running, depressing the START/RER button and hold until
engine has started.
When the engine is running, depressing the START/RER button will command
the engine to reverse crankshaft rotation as driving the snowmobile is in reverse is
achieved by changing the direction of rotation of the engine, not by shifting the
chain case in reverse gear.
When depressing the START/RER button, the MPEM 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 forward when starting after stopping or stal-
ling.
Shifting procedure will take place only when the engine is running.
If engine is running at a speed above 3800 RPM, the reverse function of the
START/RER button is cancelled.
It is recommended to warm up the engine to its normal operating temperature
before shifting.
Start Mode
To start engine, push START/RER button and hold until engine has started.
NOTE! Do not hold START/RER button more than 10 seconds. A rest period
should be observed between the cranking cycles to let starter cool down. Holding
START/RER button when engine has started could damage starter mechanism.
