OPERATION

Reverse Operation

Some Polaris watercraft have reverse capabilities. See page 104 to
determine if your watercraft has this feature.
Activating reverse while the craft is moving forward could cause
loss of control and result in damage to the watercraft or severe
personal injury to the operator or passenger(s). Do not attempt to
activate reverse while moving forward above planing speed.
Reverse Lever
1. To activate reverse, pull the reverse
lever (1) all the way up. The lever will
remain in the full up position.
2. Turn the handlebars and apply throttle
carefully as required to maintain
steering control of the watercraft.
3. To return to forward, return the reverse
lever to the forward position.
Polaris Electric Reverse Control (PERCt)
1. To activate reverse, depress the
reverse switch (2) (labeled RVS).
Varying degrees of reverse
engagement are possible, depending
on the duration the reverse button is
depressed.
2. Turn the handlebar and apply throttle
carefully as required to maintain
steering control of the watercraft.
3. To return to forward, depress the forward button (labeled FWD)
until the reverse gate is in the full up position.
NOTE: The reverse gate can be activated without the engine running
by depressing the bilge button and operating the up/down button for
reverse actuation.
NOTE: Engine RPM is limited during reverse operation. While in
reverse, the multi-function gauge will flash a warning light and the
corresponding LCD message "REVERSE" will be visible. Be sure the
reverse gate is in the full forward position before resuming normal
operation or your speed will be limited by the RPM limiter.
