the line or marker in the test area and remove foot from
pedal. The vehicle should stop aggressively. The wheel
brakes may or may not lock. Observe the vehicle stop-
ping location or measure the vehicle stopping distance
from the point at which the brakes were latched. The
vehicle should stop within the ‘normal’ range of stopping
distances. If the vehicle stops more than 4 ft. (1.2 m)
beyond the acceptable stopping distance or pulls to one
side, the vehicle has failed the test and should be tested
again.
If the vehicle fails the second test, it should
immedi-
ately
be removed from service. The vehicle
must
be
inspected by a qualified mechanic who should refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING section in the Technician’s
Repair and Service Manual.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3) pumps of grease in any
grease fitting at any one time. Excess grease may
cause grease seals to fail or grease migration into
areas that could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fit-
ting could damage grease seals and cause premature
bearing failure.

AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS
To prevent possible burns, engine parts
should be kept clean to reduce risk of over-
heating and ignition of accumulated debris.
After every off road use, allow to cool and then
check for a build up of dirt and debris in the air
intake and cooling fins. Dirt and debris may
clog the engine’s air cooling system. Clean
areas shown to prevent engine damage. Keep
linkages, springs and controls clean. Keep
area around muffler free of any combustible
material.
At least once a year, or more often under adverse con-
ditions) the cooling system should be cleaned. Cleaning
will assure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins.
Compressed air may be used for routine cooling system
maintenance.

REAR AXLE
The rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check
plug located on the driver side at the rear of the hous-

annual lubricant check is sufficient.
