Thank you for purchasing a light duty utility vehicle. Before driving the
vehicle, we ask you to spend some time reading this Owner’s Manual
and Service Guide. This guide contains the information that will assist
you in maintaining this highly reliable vehicle. Some illustrations may
show items that are optional for your vehicle. This guide covers the
operation of several vehicles; therefore, some pictorial views may not
represent your vehicle. Physical differences in controls will be illus-
trated.
This vehicle has been designed and manufactured as a ‘World Vehi-
cle’. Some countries have individual requirements to comply with their
specifications; therefore, some sections may not apply in your country.
Most of the service procedures in this guide can be accomplished
using common automotive hand tools. Contact your service represen-
tative on servicing the vehicle in accordance with the Periodic Service
Schedule.
Service Parts Manuals and Technician’s Repair and Service Manuals
are available from a local Distributor, an authorized Branch or the Ser-
vice Parts Department. When ordering parts or requesting information
for your vehicle, provide vehicle model, serial number and manufacture
date code.
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Read, understand and follow the safety label on the instrument panel
(Ref Appendix A). Be sure you understand how to operate the vehicle,
its equipment and how to use it safely. Maintaining good performance
depends to a large extent on the operator.
Improper use of this vehicle could
result in severe injury or death. The
ST Series vehicle is a light duty utili-
ty vehicle. It is NOT an all terrain vehicle (ATV).
This vehicle is not a toy and using it while engaging in horse-
play is dangerous.
Plan carefully before using the vehicle to go significant dis-
tances over questionable terrain. Remember that a one hour
drive may take many hours to walk out should you run out of
fuel or be stranded by becoming stuck on unsuitable terrain.
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid
battery charging process. A 4% concentration of hydrogen
gas is explosive and could cause severe injury or death.
Charging must take place in an area that is adequately venti-
lated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could result in
severe injury or death, never smoke around or charge batter-
ies in an area that has open flame or electrical equipment that
could cause an electrical arc.
