NOTICE: If the engine does not start or runs
improperly after washing, remove the spark plug
wire (by pulling the spark plug boots, never the
wires) and blow them dry. Reinstall the wires.
Remove moisture from coil by blowing across top.
VEHICLE CARE PRODUCTS
To help maintain the vehicle, the manufacturer has sev-
eral products, available through a local Distributor, an
authorized Branch, or the Service Parts Department,
among them are:
•
Touch-up paint specially formulated to match vehicle
colors for use on both metal and TPE (plastic) bod-
ies (P/N 28432G**).
•
Multi-purpose Battery Protectant formulated to form
a long-term, flexible, non-tacky, dry coating that will
not crack, peel or flake over a wide temperature
range (P/N 606312).
•
Multi-purpose Hand Cleaner is an industrial strength
cleaner containing no harsh solvents, yet gently lifts
grease off hands. May be used with or without water
(P/N 607636).
HARDWARE
Periodically the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref. Fig. 6). Use
care when tightening fasteners and refer to the sections
in this manual for specific torque values.
Generally, two grades of hardware are used in the vehi-
cle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head. Unmarked hardware is

Unless otherwise noted in text, tighten all hardware in accordance with this chart.
This chart specifies 'lubricated' torque figures. Fasteners that are plated or lubricated when
installed are considered 'wet' and require approximately 80% of the torque required for 'dry' fasteners.
