MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Owner’s Guide
Clean the area around the check and fill plugs. Remove the
check plug. The correct lubricant level is just below the bottom
of the threaded hole. If lubricant is to be added, remove the fill
plug and add lubricant using a funnel. Add lubricant slowly until
lubricant starts to seep from the check plug hole. Install the
check plug and the fill plug. In the event that the lubricant is to
be replaced, a drain plug is provided at the bottom of the differ-
ential housing.
AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
The air cleaner unit on the vehicle is a dry unit. Do not use oil on the filter element or any part of the unit. To aide instal-
lation and sealing, petroleum jelly may be applied to back side of cover tabs and each side of filter seal.
Cleaning the Air Filter Element
Do not use compressed air to clean the air filter; doing so will damage the filter which may result in damage
to the engine.
The air cleaner element is accessible by unsnapping the
clips on the air canister and removing the cover and air filter
element. Clean inside of cover, canister and dust collector.
Install the element and cover the same way they were
removed. Be sure the positioning arrow on cover is pointing
upward and all clips are fastened securely.
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may be
removed by tapping the filter lightly. Do not use oil on the fil-
ter element or any part of the unit.
