Shock Absorbers

Each shock absorber should be visibly

checked weekly for excessive fluid leak-

age (some seal leakage may be observed

but it does not indicate the shock is in

need of replacement), cracks or breaks in

the lower case, or a bent shock rod. If any

one of these conditions is detected,

replacement is necessary.

WC044



NOTE: When the vehicle is

operated in extremely cold
weather (-23° C/-10° F or colder),
a small amount of leakage may be
present. Unless the leakage is
excessive, replacement is not
necessary.

The shock absorbers on this vehicle are

Walker/Evans racing shocks with adjust-

able damping and spring pre-load to

accommodate many driving conditions

and styles.

To adjust damping, rotate the knob on the

shock reservoir in the desired direction

(hard or soft).

WC115

To adjust preload (stiffness), adjust the

spring preload nuts clockwise to stiffen

or counterclockwise to soften.

WC112A

WC117A



NOTE: Before attempting to adjust

suspension, clean dirt and debris
from the sleeve and remove load from
the suspension; then use an appro-
priate spanner wrench to adjust the
sleeve to the desired position.

General Lubrication

Cables

None of the cables require lubrication;

however, it is advisable to lubricate the

ends of the cables periodically with a

good cable lubricant.

Engine/Transmission Oil

and Filter



NOTE: Refer to the recommended

oil viscosity chart (on page 31) in
this manual for the proper engine oil.

Change the engine oil and oil filter at the

scheduled intervals. The engine should

always be warm when the oil is changed

so the oil will drain easily and completely.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Loosen the oil level stick. Be careful

not to allow contaminants to enter the

opening.

CAUTION

The shocks are factory filled with
high pressure gas. Do not remove the
valve caps or gas leakage may occur
damaging the shock.
