Installation Instructions (Setup)

Image: Official instruction sheet showing detailed diagrams for button removal and installation, including spring placement and button alignment.
- Prepare the Handlebar: If your snowmobile is equipped with a handlebar cover, carefully remove it to access the control assembly.
- Remove Existing Button: Carefully remove the existing reverse button from the handlebar control.
- Loosen Handlebar Cap Screws: Loosen all four cap screws that secure the handlebar cap to the riser. This step is necessary to allow for handlebar rotation.
- Rotate Handlebar: Rotate the handlebar so that the control assembly is facing upwards. This provides better access for the button installation.
- Install New Spring: Install one of the new springs into the designated cavity of the left-side handlebar control. Refer to "DETAIL A" in the instruction sheet image above for visual guidance on spring placement.
- Install Reverse Button: Press the new reverse button into place. Ensure the button aligns correctly with the tab in the left handlebar control. The button should snap securely into place. Refer to the "PRESS HERE TO ASSEMBLE" diagram in the instruction sheet image above for visual guidance.
- Adjust and Secure Handlebar: Readjust the handlebar to the operator's desired position. Once positioned, tighten the four cap screws to 15 ft-lb to secure the handlebar.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The kit includes two springs. Only one spring is required for installation of the new button. The second spring is provided as a spare in case one is lost during the installation process or for future use.
Operating the Button
The SPI SC-01003 button functions as a combined start and reverse control, depending on your snowmobile's specific wiring and original setup. Typically, pressing the button will engage the designated function (either start or reverse). Refer to your snowmobile's owner's manual for specific operational details related to the start/reverse system.
