PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
c.
Inspect the wheel rims for dents or distortions that can adversely affect the tires’
inflation or performance.

Inspect the rear axle and differential every week for proper function. Gear oil in the
axle should be changed approximately every 650 miles.

c.
For cold weather, use 80w/90 GL-3 gear oil. For warm weather, use 85w/90 GL-3
gear oil.
VI. BATTERY
a. Check the battery wiring and cable regularly to insure they are secure; any
looseness can cause potential damage to the circuit virtual access.
b.
It is recommended that you do not discharge the battery to less than 20%. Once
the battery has been discharged, it should be promptly charged.

per month. The recommended storage temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit and
at 40% battery capacity.
NOTE: Storing your battery in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or above 97
degrees Fahrenheit can limit your battery life.

Charger Storage
When not in use, store the charger in a dry, cool and clean place, taking care to
insure the ventilation holes do not become clogged by dust or other debris.
