7. Position the floorboard into the vehicle and secure
with the appropriate hardware; then install the seat
base, seat back, and seat.
Gas/Vent Hoses
Replace the gas hose every two years. Damage from
aging may not always be visible. Do not bend or obstruct
the routing of the vent hoses. Make certain the vent hoses
are securely connected and the opposite ends are always
open.
Oil Filter/Oil Pump
NOTE: Whenever internal engine components
wear excessively or break and whenever oil is con-
taminated, the oil pump should be replaced.
TESTING OIL PUMP PRESSURE
NOTE: The engine must be warmed up to operat-
ing temperature (cooling fan cycling) for this test.
1. Remove the seat, seat back, and seat base.
2. Using a suitable “T” fitting, connect Oil Pressure
Test Kit to the oil fitting and hose. Tighten all
clamps securely.
NOTE: Some oil seepage may occur when install-
ing the oil pressure gauge. Wipe up oil residue
with a cloth.
3. Block the wheels, place the transmission in neutral,
and start the engine. Allow the engine to warm up to
operating temperature (with cooling fan cycling).
4. Connect a suitable tachometer. With the engine run-
ning at 3000 RPM, the pressure gauge must show
0.7-1.4 kg/cm
2
(10-20 psi).
5. Remove the test kit and tachometer from the vehicle
and install the oil hose. Tighten the clamps securely.
6. Install the seat base, seat back, and seat.
NOTE: If the oil pressure is lower than specified,
check for an oil leak, damaged oil seal, or defective
oil pump.
NOTE: If the oil pressure is higher than specified,
check for too heavy engine oil weight (see Section
1), clogged oil passage, clogged oil filter, or
improper installation of the oil filter.
REMOVING/DISASSEMBLING
1. Remove the oil pump from the engine (see
Right-Side Components in Section 3).
