CAUTION: Do not engage electric
starter for more than 10 seconds
at a t ime. A rest per iod should be
observed between the cranking cy-
cles to allow electric starter to cool
down. Using e lectric starter when
engine has started could damage
electric starter mechanism.
– Depressing the START/RER button
will engage the electric starter and
start the engine.
– Release button immediately when
engine has started.
NOTE: If for any reason, the engine
canno t be started ele ctrically, start en-
gine manually using the rewind starter.
Vehicle Warm-Up
Before every ride, vehicle has to be
warmed up as follows.
Engage parking brake.
Snowmobile must be securely sup-
ported by the rear bumper using a
wide-base snowm obile mechanical
stand. Track must be 100 mm (4 in)
off the ground.
Attach tether cord to operator's cloth-
ing eyelet.
Start engine and allow it to warm up
two or three minutes at idle speed.
Disengage park ing brake.
WARNING
Make sure wide-base snowmobile
mechanical stand is stable. Stay
clear of the front of vehicle and the
track. Do not use too m uch throttle
during warm-up or when track is
free-hanging.
Apply throttle until drive pulley en-
gages. Let track rotate at low speed
for several turns. The lower the ve-
hicle temperature, the longer vehicle
warm-up should be.
Shut-off the engine and remove the
wide-base snowm obile mechanical
stand.
Skis may be frozen on the ground.
Grab both skis one at a time by their
loops and lift the ir front en d slig htly off
the ground.
After resta rting engine, the vehicle can
be driven at low speed for the first 2 or
3 minutes of riding. After that, it may
be driven up to the legal speed limit as
per normal safety practices.
Shifting in Reverse
When the engine is running, depress-
ing the RER button will slow down en-
gine RPM to almost a stop and ad-
vance the ignition timing to cause di-
rection change in c rankshaft rotation.
– E n gine will automatically shift into
forward w hen re-starting after stop-
ping or stalling.
– Shifting procedure will take place
only when the engine is running.
– If engine is running at a speed
above 4300 RPM, the reverse func-
tion of the RER button is cancelled.
– It is recommended to warm up the
engine to its normal operating tem-
perature before shifting.
Shifting in Reverse
WARNING
Shifting to reverse mode on these
snowmobiles is done by depress-
ing the RER button when the en-
gine is running. Wait until the
reverse alarm sounds and the
RERpilotlampcomesoninthe
dash before operating throttle to
proceed in reverse. The reverse
speed of these snowmobiles is not
limited. Always proceed with cau-
tion as fast reverse could result
in loss of v ehicle stability. Come
to complete stop before depress-
ing RER button. Always remain
seated and apply the brake before
shifting. Ensure the path behind
is clear of obstacles or bystanders
before proceeding.
