If there is any contact at either the bottom (Item 2) or the top
(Item 4) of the gear selector shift slot, the shift cable will need
to be adjusted. Do the following:
Adjustment
1. Loosen the jam nuts (Item 5
and 6).
2. Rotate the two jam nuts
(Item 5 and 6), as needed, to
move the gear selector lever
up or down so the lever
does not contact the slot at
either the bottom or top
position.
3. Evenly tighten the two jam
nuts (Item 5 and 6) until
tight to the cable mount.
4. Check operation of the gear
selector. (Have the vehicle
in an open area with no bystanders or place the vehicle on
jack stands.) Start the engine. With the gear selector in
Park (the P light will be illuminated), slowly increase the
travel control pedal in the forward direction. No utility
vehicle movement should occur and no gear clash noise
detected. Shift into High gear (the H light will be illumi-
nated), slowly increase the travel control pedal in the for-
ward direction to check forward travel. Shift into Low
gear (the L light will be illuminated), slowly increase the
travel control pedal in the forward direction to check for-
ward travel. Move the gear selector to neutral (the N light
will be illuminated), slowly increase the travel control
pedal in the forward direction. No utility vehicle move-
ment should occur and no gear clash noise detected.
If the gear selector lever and cable can not be adjusted as indi-
cated above, see your dealer for service.
