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
vehicle damage, read and understand all
instructions supplied by manufacturer of
pressure washer.
When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not
use pressure in excess of 700 psi. To reduce the pos-
sibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abrasive
or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning mate-
rials be used. Using excessive water pressure may
cause severe injury to operator or bystander, damage to
seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or electrical sys-
tem. Do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi to wash
exterior of vehicle.
Clean windshield with lots of water and a clean cloth.
Minor scratches may be removed using a commercial
plastic polish or Plexus
®
plastic cleaner available from
the service parts department.
Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim
requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a
sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is
required to preserve the painted surfaces.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive prod-
ucts designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will
enhance the appearance and durability of the painted
surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These mate-
rials will cause corrosion of underbody parts unless
flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean
any areas where mud or other debris can collect. Sedi-
ment packed in closed areas should be loosened to ease
it’s removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise damage
paint.
If the engine does not start or runs improperly after washing,
remove the spark plug wires (by pulling the spark plug boots,
never the wires). Dry all connections with forced air. Reinstall
the wires.

Some servicing operations may require the front wheels,
the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle be raised.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death from a vehicle falling from a jack:
Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level
surface.
Never get under a vehicle while it is sup-
ported by a jack.
Use jack stands and test the stability of
the vehicle on the stands.
Always place chocks in front and behind
the wheels not being raised.
Use extreme care since the vehicle is
extremely unstable during the lifting pro-
cess.
When lifting vehicle, position jacks and jack stands
at the areas indicated only.
To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and
behind each front wheel (Ref Fig. 14 on page 13). Center
the jack under the rear frame crossmember. Raise the
vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer
ends of the rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
two jack stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the
vehicle enough to place jack stands under the frame
crossmember as indicated.
