SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death from improper servicing techniques:
Do not attempt any type of servicing opera-
tions before reading and understanding all
notes, cautions and warnings in this manu-
al.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be
made to the powertrain while the engine is
running must be made with both drive
wheels raised and vehicle properly support-
ed on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of engine damage,
never operate vehicle at full throttle for more
than 4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no
load’ condition.
Wear eye protection when work-
ing on the vehicle. Use extra care
when working around batteries,
or using solvents or compressed
air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an elec-
trical arc, which could result in a battery
explosion, turn off all electrical loads from
the battery before removing battery wires.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl
tape to reduce the possi-
bility of a dropped wrench
‘shorting out’ a battery, which could result in
an explosion.
Reduce the possibility of accidental starting
by removing and grounding spark plug
wires and disconnecting battery at negative
terminal before servicing.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solu-
tion which can cause severe burns to the
skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to
the body and eyes with extended flushing
with clear water. Contact a physician imme-
diately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized
with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodi-
um bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1
quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with
water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal pro-
tectant must be used with extreme care.
Insulate metal container to reduce the pos-
sibility of can contacting battery terminals
which could result in an explosion.
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and service
technician, to carefully follow the procedures recom-
mended in this manual. Preventative maintenance,
applied at recommended intervals, is the best guarantee
for keeping the vehicle both dependable and economical.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, provid-
ing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Periodic
Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals (Ref
Fig. 19 on page 15). Refer to Lubrication Points for

To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must be
serviced more frequently on vehicles used under severe
driving conditions such as extreme temperatures,
extreme dust/debris conditions, frequent use with maxi-
mum load.
To access powertrain for routine maintenance, lift or
remove seat. For major repair, refer to appropriate Tech-
nician’s Repair and Service Manual.
