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 sud-
denly 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.
ADJUSTING SHIFT LEVER
1. Place the shift lever in the R position; then remove
the seat and left-side engine cover.
2. Loosen the jam nut at the front of the shifter link-
age; then remove the E-clip securing the shifter
linkage to the shift arm.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then
move the shift arm until the Neutral icon (N)
appears on the LCD.

4. Rotate the shift rod until the shifter is directly
aligned with the Neutral position on the shift gate.
5. While holding the shift rod with an open-end
wrench, tighten the shift rod jam nuts securely.
6. Shift the transmission into each of the remaining
positions and verify that the appropriate icon is
displayed for the selected gear shift position (H -
High, L - Low, and R - Reverse).
NOTE: An E (Error) in the gear position icon indi-
cates no signal or a poor ground wire connection
in the circuit. Troubleshoot the harness connec-
tors, gear shift position connector, gear shift posi-
tion switch, and LCD connector.
7. Install the seat and left-side engine cover.

Frame/Welds/Racks

The frame, welds, and racks should be checked period-
ically for damage, bends, cracks, deterioration, broken
components, and missing components. If replacement
or repair constitutes removal, see Section 8.

Electrical Connections

The electrical connections should be checked periodi-
cally for proper function. In case of an electrical fail-
ure, check fuses, connections (for tightness, corrosion,
damage), and/or bulbs. If an electrical component
needs to be tested for proper function, see Section 5.

CHECKING/BLEEDING
The hydraulic brake systems have been filled and bled
at the factory. To check and/or bleed a hydraulic brake
system, use the following procedure.
1. With the master cylinder in a level position, check
the fluid level in the reservoir. If the level in the
reservoir is not visible in the sight glass, add DOT
4 brake fluid.
