2. Programmable Service Interval / Diagnostic Mode
• Service Interval - The purpose of the
programmable service interval is to provide the
consumer and the dealer with a convenient way to
schedule routine maintenance. When the ATV
leaves the factory, this feature is set at “50 hours".
When the first 50 hours of engine operation are
finished the wrench icon will flash for 10 seconds
each time the ATV is started as a reminder that
ATV maintenance is due. NOTE: To reset the
Service Interval, follow the directions for
“SETTING NEW SERVICE INTERVAL” later in this
chapter.
3. Check Engine Warning Indicator
• The word HOT will display alpha numerically when
the engine is overheating. Do not continue to
operate the ATV if this warning appears. Refer to
Chapter 3 “COOLING SYSTEM
TROUBLESHOOTING” for help with diagnosis of
overheating.
4. High/Low Battery Voltage
• This warning usually indicates that the ATV is
being operated at an RPM too low to keep the
battery charged. A low battery warning may also
occur under normal operation if the machine is at
idle and high electrical load (lights, cooling fan,
accessories) is applied. Driving at a higher RPM or
connecting a battery charger will usually clear the
warning.
5. Engine Hour Display Indicator
• Displays number of hours of engine operation.
6. AWD Indicator
• Illuminates when the electrical portion of the AWD
system is enabled.
7. Gear Indicator
• Specifies what position the shift lever and
transmission are in. This area is blank if a fault
occurs.
8. Mode Indicator
• Indicates which modes are being utilized.
9. Fuel Gauge
• The segments of the fuel gauge indicate the level
of fuel in the fuel tank. When the last segment
clears, a low fuel warning is activated. All related
icons will flash, “FUEL” will display in the LCD, and
the speedometer needle will blink. If riding, be
sure to refuel immediately.
