2007 Can-Am Outlander 500/650/800 EFI & MAX ATV Operator's Guide - CE Edition (P/N vmo2007-005 DR)

This BRP Operator's Guide covers the 2007 Can-Am Outlander/MAX 500, 650, and 800 EFI series in the English-language CE edition, including 1-UP and MAX 2-UP configurations. The covers carry document number 219 000 436, with vmo2007-005 DR printed inside.

• Vehicle controls and instruments: Multi-function display messages, Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS), Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) range selection, and pre-operation checks.

• Engine maintenance: Engine oil and filter replacement, air-filter removal and cleaning, spark arrester purging, and illustrated access to service points.

• Cooling system: Coolant replacement and bleeding, radiator cleaning, fluid-level checks, and the hose-pincher tool used during refilling.

• Gearbox and throttle: Gearbox oil changes, throttle cable lubrication, throttle lever free-play adjustment, and CVT housing drainage.

• Electrical maintenance: Spark plug and battery removal/installation, fuse locations and circuit assignments, bulb replacement, and headlamp aiming.

• Chassis and specifications: Wheel removal, wheel-bearing checks, suspension inspection and preload adjustment, brake wear limits, and model-specific tire and load tables.

• Troubleshooting and schedules: Starting faults, misfires, overheating, lost drive, and a maintenance chart distinguishing customer tasks from dealer work.

Written for owners and operators, the guide covers customer maintenance for readers familiar with safe service and adjustment practices, while assigning specified work to a Can-Am dealer.

CE Equipment and Model Differences

The European Community controls include direction indicators, a horn, and hazard warning lights. The guide identifies the 2WD/4WD selector as nonfunctional on these models, an important distinction when matching the operating instructions to your ATV.

Passenger-seat/storage-box conversion instructions, storage capacity, and separate load limits distinguish 1-UP from 2-UP use. XT and Limited Edition coverage includes winch controls and the remote connection; Limited Edition models also have GPS receiver removal/installation and protective-cover instructions. The separate winching and GPS operating guides are not included.

Suspension: The Outlander 500 uses MacPherson front struts, while the 650/800 use double A-arms. TTI independent rear suspension is covered, along with spring-preload adjustment; the 500's front shocks are not adjustable.

Maintenance Procedures and Repair Limits

Engine oil/filter and gearbox-oil changes include illustrations of the relevant service points. Coolant replacement covers system bleeding and identifies the large hose pincher P/N 529 032 500. Fluid specifications, capacities, tightening torques, and throttle adjustment data support the documented maintenance work.

Dealer work: Valve adjustment, drive-belt width/condition checks, and fault code reading are assigned to the dealer rather than explained as workshop procedures. Brake fluid replacement and brake repair are also referred to an authorized Can-Am dealer.

The brake section provides pad and disc thickness limits and disc-warpage limits. Tire specifications distinguish construction, sizes, and pressures by model and equipment. Using the wrong wheel nuts can damage the rims; the wheel-removal section identifies the specified nuts, P/N 250 100 039, and illustrates their tapered side.

The radiator-cleaning guidance warns that high-pressure washing can damage its thin cooling fins. Always review the safety protocols and pre-ride checklists detailed in this manual before operating or performing maintenance on your ATV.

Troubleshooting and Electrical Reference

The troubleshooting section helps narrow down starting issues, engine misfires, loss of power, and an engine that revs without moving the ATV. It connects symptoms with checks involving ignition, fuel supply, radiator condition, intake restrictions, and the CVT, while identifying cases requiring dealer diagnosis.

Display messages: HI TEMP, LO BATT, CHECK ENGINE, and LIMP HOME are explained alongside INVALID KEY and NO ECM COMMUNICATION. The message descriptions help distinguish a key-recognition problem from an engine-management or communication fault before arranging repair.

Labeled front and rear fuse-location views identify the protected circuits, while front- and rear-cylinder spark plug views show their locations. Coverage is limited to operator-level troubleshooting and maintenance: internal engine or CVT repair requires the separate Shop Manual, and wiring schematics are not included.

PDF Search, Bookmarks and Page Count

The main text supports PDF search; cover text and some illustration/form labels are not searchable. Embedded bookmarks cover the major sections, although some numbered subentries have imprecise destinations. This printable 164-page PDF includes 160 numbered pages, six of them blank, plus four unnumbered cover/inside-cover pages; the original warranty and ownership forms are already included.
