Light Switches and Indicator Lights
Oil Pressure Switch
Some 2002 Sportsman
700 ATVs were
produced without an oil
pressure switch as
standard equipment.
If your model has this
switch, it will be
located on the LH side
of the engine next to
the oil filler tube. It is
not to be confused with
the engine temperature
switch that is located
on the same side but
higher up on the
engine.
If the oil pressure
switch is not installed
on your engine, the oil
pressure warning is not
active and the
diagnostic mode
feature is not valid.
This ATV is not equipped with highway approved lighting. This
ATV is designed for off-road use only and must not be ridden on
streets or highways. Use caution and drive at reduced speeds in
conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain and darkness.
