skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to
the body and eyes with extended flushing
with clear water. Contact a physician imme-
diately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized
with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodi-
um bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in
1 quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with
water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal pro-
tectant must be used with extreme care.
Insulate metal container to reduce the pos-
sibility of can contacting battery terminals
which could result in an explosion.
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and ser-
vice technician to carefully follow the procedures recom-
mended in this manual. Preventative maintenance, ap-
plied at recommended intervals, is the best guarantee
for keeping the vehicle both dependable and economi-
cal.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, pro-
viding it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Pe-
riodic Service Schedule for appropriate service inter-
vals.
To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must
be serviced more frequently on vehicles used under
severe driving conditions such as extreme tempera-
tures, extreme dust/debris conditions, and frequent use
with maximum load.
TIRE INSPECTION
Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule . Inflation pressures should be checked
when the tires are cool. Be sure to install the valve dust
cap after checking or inflating.
REAR AXLE
The only maintenance required for the first five years is
the periodic inspection of the lubricant level. The rear
axle is provided with a lubricant level check/fill plug lo-
cated on the bottom of the differential. Unless leakage is
evident, the lubricant needs to be replaced after five
years.
To access the powertrain for routine maintenance, lift or
remove the seat and remove the rear access panel. For
major repair, refer to the appropriate Technician’s Repair
and Service Manual.
Some service procedures may require the vehicle to be
lifted. Refer to LIFTING THE VEHICLE for proper lifting
procedure and safety information.
CHECKING THE LUBRICANT LEVEL
Clean the area around the check/fill plug and remove
the plug. The correct lubricant level is just below the bot-
tom of the threaded hole. If lubricant is low, add lubri-
cant slowly until lubricant starts to seep from the hole.
Install the check/fill plug. In the event that the lubricant
is to be replaced, a drain plug is provided at the bottom
of the differential housing.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Do not overfill the engine with oil. Too much oil may
cause smoking or cause spark plug fouling.
The oil should be checked with the engine warm. The
vehicle should be on a level surface with the parking
(PARK) brake engaged. Allow adequate time for oil to
drain into the crankcase before checking.
