OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

Page 19

Owner’s Manual and Service Guide

Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings

Fig. 21  Add, Check and Drain Axle Lubricant

Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fit-
ting could damage grease seals and cause premature
bearing failure (Ref Fig. 22 on page 19).

Fig. 22  Lubrication Points

PDS SYSTEM TEST

At monthly intervals, test the PDS system by allowing the
vehicle to roll down an incline with the accelerator pedal
released. Braking force should be felt at approximately 2
mph (3 kph) indicating that the PDS system is function-
ing. If vehicle speed continues to rise, apply the service
brake and have vehicle inspected by a trained mechanic.

HARDWARE

Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref Fig. 24 on page
20).
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the
Technician’s Repair and Service Manual for specific
torque values.

Generally, three grades of hardware are used in the vehi-
cle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head and grade 8 hardware is
identified by 6 marks on the head. Unmarked hardware is
Grade 2 (Ref Fig. 24 on page 20).

BATTERIES AND CHARGING

SAFETY

Always observe the following warnings when working on or 
near batteries: 

To prevent battery explosion that could result in

severe personal injury or death, keep all smok-

ing materials, open flame or sparks away from

the batteries.

Hydrogen gas is formed when charging bat-

teries. Do not charge batteries without ade-
quate ventilation. A 4% concentration of

hydrogen gas is explosive.

Be sure that the key switch is off and all
electrical accessories are turned off before

starting work on vehicle.

Never disconnect a circuit under load at a
battery terminal.
