Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
TIRE INSPECTION
Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule (Ref. Fig. 16 on page 14). Inflation pres-
sures should be checked when the tires are cool. Be sure
to install the valve dust cap after checking or inflating.
BRAKES
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death,
always evaluate pedal
travel before operating a vehicle to verify some brak-
ing function is present.
All driving brake tests must be done in a safe location
with regard for the safety of all personnel.
Over time, a subtle loss of performance may
take place; therefore, it is important to establish
the standard with a new vehicle.
The Periodic Brake Performance Test should be per-
formed regularly (Ref. Fig. 16 on page 14) as an evalua-
tion of braking system performance. It is useful as a
method of identifying subtle loss of performance over
time.
Periodic Brake Test for Mechanical Brakes
The purpose of this test is to compare the braking perfor-
mance of the vehicle to the braking performance of new
or ‘known to be good’ vehicles or to an established
acceptable stopping distance. Actual stopping distances
will be influenced by weather conditions, terrain, road
surface condition, actual vehicle weight (accessories
installed) and vehicle speed. No specific braking distance
can be reliably specified. The test is conducted by latch-
ing the parking brake to eliminate different pedal pres-
sures and to include the affects of linkage mis-
adjustment.
Establish the acceptable stopping distance by testing a
new or ‘known to be good’ vehicle and recording the
stopping location or stopping distance. For fleets of vehi-
cles, several vehicles should be tested when new and
the range of stopping locations or distances recorded.
Over time, a subtle loss of performance may
take place; therefore, it is important to establish
the standard with a new vehicle.
Drive the vehicle at maximum speed on a flat, dry, clean,
paved surface (Ref. Fig. 17 on page 16). Quickly depress
the brake pedal to latch the parking brake at the line or
