Shift Lever
CHECKING ADJUSTMENT
CF130B
Stop the ATV completely and shift the transmission
into the R position. The reverse gear indicator light
should be illuminated.
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. Remove the seat; then remove the left-side engine
cover.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position, loosen
jam nut (A) (left-hand threads); then loosen jam
nut (C) and with the shift lever in the reverse posi-
tion, adjust the coupler (B) until the transmission
is in reverse and the (R) icon appears on the LCD.
CF258A
3. Tighten the jam nuts securely; then shift the trans-
mission to each position and verify correct adjust-
ment.
4. Install the left-side engine cover and seat making
sure the seat locks securely in place.
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.
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.
Hydraulic Brake
Systems
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.
! 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.
