Before anyone says read the manual.... I don't have a manual. I bought a 2015 Foreman Footshift with Power Steering recently. Only has like 170 miles. Finally got a chance to get out and ride it and I have a couple of questions:

1. Regarding the diff lock, I was flipping it on just to see how it worked. It would usually just sit there and blink. Sometimes it would lock in and remain a solid light. Should it lock up right away, or is there a trick to getting it to lock?

2. I was shifting in and out of 4wd and messing with the diff lock. Then I noticed my Power Steering light was on and PS wasn't working. I just turned the bike off and on again and it started working again. Anyone know what this might be caused by?

Only 170 miles and no owner's manual? As I recall, the owner's manual is stored under the seat, so look there if you haven't already done so. Personally, I didn't care to keep it there, so I filed it away elsewhere. Maybe the previous owner of your machine did the same. Otherwise, you can sometimes find them on eBay.

No power steering on mine, so can’t help you there... The locker will engage faster if you turn the handle bars one way or the other (after you push the locker button).

I think i had an owners manual in the truck on the Rubicon. Might still have a french one :O
Check the batt' connections for the PS issue(just a thought...) The diff lock, 'usually' worked better for me if it was in 1st gear & i let off the throttle, sometimes it would take longer, it may need to be broke in more too.

The guy I bought it from said he thinks he has it somewhere around his house. Not under the seat. Hopefully he finds it.
