SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from improper servicing techniques:
DO NOT attempt any type of servicing operations before reading all notes, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made to the powertrain while the motor is running
must be made with both drive wheels raised and vehicle properly supported on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of motor damage, never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than
4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no load’ condition.
Reduce the possibility of accidental starting by disconnecting battery at negative terminal
before servicing.
Wear eye protection when working on the vehicle. Use extra care when work-
ing around batteries, or using solvents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical arc, which could result in a
battery explosion, turn off all electrical loads from the battery before removing
battery wires.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to reduce the possibility of a dropped wrench
‘shorting out’ a battery, which could result in an explosion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to
the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended
flushing with clear water. Contact a physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium bicar-
bonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate metal
container to reduce the possibility of can contacting battery terminals which could result in an
explosion.
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and service technician to carefully follow the procedures recommended
in this manual. Preventative maintenance, applied at recommended intervals, is the best guarantee for keeping the
vehicle both dependable and economical.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, providing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Periodic
Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals.
