CHECKING ADJUSTMENT
Stop the ATV completely and shift the transmission into
the R position. The reverse gear indicator light should be
illuminated.
If the reverse gear indicator 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 N (neutral) position; then
set the engine stop switch to the STOP position and
turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. The
neutral indicator light should illuminate.
NOTE: If the neutral indicator light does not illumi-
nate, adjustment of the shift linkage will be required.
To adjust, proceed to step 2.
2. Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the shift rod and
turn the shift rod until the neutral light illuminates.
Tighten the jam nuts securely.

through the transmission shift arm and into the index
hole in the transmission cover.
