LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To reduce the possibility of premature bulb failure,
do not touch new bulbs with bare fingers. Use clean,
dry tissue or paper towel to handle the glass portion
of the bulb.
For vehicles equipped with lights mounted in the cowl,
locate bulb socket on backside of light and turn bulb
socket a quarter turn counterclockwise to unlock and pull
out bulb and socket. Insert new bulb and rotate socket a
quarter turn clockwise to secure.
Similarly replace the turn signal light bulb, locate bulb socket on backside of light
housing and turn bulb socket a quarter turn counterclockwise to unlock and pull
out bulb and socket. Insert new bulb and rotate socket a quarter turn clockwise to
secure.
To replace the tail and brake light bulb, roll the rubber bezel from around the edge
of the taillight and remove lens. Install replacement bulb and replace lens.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
To replace fuses, locate the fuse block under the driver side seat. Pull out old fuse and replace with a new automotive
type fuse. Headlight and taillight bulbs and fuses are available from a local Distributor, an authorized Branch or the Ser-
vice Parts Department.
VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from inadvertent motion, do not attempt to ‘jump
start’ a vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator and does not idle. When starting the engine, the starter/generator func-
tions as a starter and with the engine running, it functions as a generator.
With the short running times associated with this kind of vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the bat-
tery charge level. The generator is not designed to charge a discharged battery.
When engine starts, the clutches engage and cause vehicle to move making ‘jump starting’ both dangerous and imprac-
tical.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less.
Read and understand all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.
