I have adjustable links also. The lever on the load sensor that moves up and down should be facing out toward the wheel. It can turn over either when you changed the link or when you let the X down off the jack. My instructions were two options to get the sensor lever in the correct position. You can either jack it up on the side that is reversed and turn it over without disconnecting one end of the link or disconnect one end of the link on the ground to turn it over. After correcting the link the warning will not go out until you have driven the X some distance.
