Periodic Service Schedule
WARNING
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple repairs or
service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair. The appropriate
instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory installation.
• If any problems are found during scheduled inspection or service, do not operate vehicle until repairs
are made. Failure to make necessary repairs could result in fire, property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the vehicle.
• Turn key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position and chock the wheels prior to servicing.
• Moving parts: Do not attempt to service vehicle while engine is running.
• Hot! Do not attempt to service hot engine or exhaust system. Failure to heed this warning could
result in severe burns.
• For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo before raising the bed or servicing the vehicle. If the
vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure that it is securely engaged while bed is raised. Do not
close bed until all persons are clear of cargo bed area. Keep hands clear of all crush areas. Do not
drop cargo bed; lower gently and keep entire body clear. Failure to heed this warning could result in
severe personal injury or death.
• Do not work on vehicle powertrain or under cargo bed when it is loaded.
• Turn fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 16).
• To avoid unintentionally starting the vehicle disconnect battery and spark plug wires. See
Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicle on page 11.
• If wires are removed or replaced make sure wiring and wire harness are properly routed and secured.
Failure to properly route and secure wiring could result in vehicle malfunction, property damage,
personal injury, or death.
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic floor
jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold vehicle in raised
position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the vehicle and chock
the wheels that remain on the floor.
• When servicing the vehicle with part of the vehicle on jack stands, do not operate the engine with the
Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position. The four-wheel drive system
may engage any wheel(s), front or rear, depending on the mode selected. See Figure 3.
