Repair and Service Manual
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Some items must be serviced more frequently
on vehicles used under severe driving condi-
tions.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, pro-
vided it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Peri-
odic Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals
(Ref Fig. 7 on page A-8). Refer to ‘Lubrication’ in FRONT
SUSPENSION AND STEERING section for appropriate
lubrication locations.
POWERTRAIN MAINTENANCE
To prevent severe per-
sonal injury or death,
always install a positive
stop to prevent load bed from falling.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to prevent the possi-
bility of a dropped wrench ‘shorting out’ a battery,
which could result in an explosion.
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground
spark plug wires and disconnect battery at negative
terminal before servicing.
Access the powertrain by raising or removing seats. Full
access to powertrain may be obtained by raising the load
bed. Some service procedures may require the vehicle
be lifted (Ref Lifting The Vehicle in SAFETY) for proper
lifting procedure and safety information.
For maintenance procedures relating to the engine,
speed control, fuel system, transmission, and rear axle or
suspension, refer to the particular section. See the
TABLE OF CONTENTS for section location.
NEUTRAL POSITION
To prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear axle/front
axle during any service operations, move direction selector
lever located on the instrument panel to the neutral position
indicated. (Ref Fig. 4 on page A-3)
