Shift Lever

CHECKING ADJUSTMENT
Stop the ATV completely and shift the transmission into
the R position. The reverse gear indicator light should be
illuminated.
! WARNING
Never shift the ATV into reverse gear when the ATV is
moving as it could cause the ATV to stop suddenly
throwing the operator from the ATV.
If the reverse light does not illuminate when shifted to
the reverse position, the switch may be faulty, the fuse
may be blown, the bulb may be faulty, a connection may
be loose or corroded, or the lever may need adjusting. To
adjust, proceed to Adjusting Shift Lever.

CHECKING/BLEEDING
The hydraulic brake systems have been filled and bled at
the factory. To check and/or bleed a hydraulic brake sys-
tem, use the following procedure.

the fluid level in the reservoir. On the hand brake if

the level in the reservoir is adequate, the sight glass
will appear dark. If the level is low, the sight glass
will appear clear. On the auxiliary brake, the level
must be between the MIN and MAX lines on the res-
ervoir.
2. Compress the brake lever/pedal several times to
check for a firm brake. If the brake is not firm, the
system must be bled.
