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
Do not to over-tighten the plug. Over-tightening can
cause damage to the aluminum cylinder head threads.
Remove and inspect the spark plugs at intervals indi-
cated in the Periodic Service Schedule (Ref Fig. 16 on
page 14). All new spark plugs should be properly gapped
before installation (Ref Fig. 37 on page 23). Apply a light
coat of anti-seize compound and tighten to specified torque.
Fouled spark plugs are indicated by a wet, black appear-
ance. This could be caused by a dirty air filter element or
other restrictions in the air intake system. Incorrectly
adjusted valves, spark plug wires which are in poor con-
dition or poor quality fuel could also contribute to the
problem.
DIRECTION SELECTOR (Dual Cable system)
The direction selector is a mechanical device that oper-
ates cables connected to the rear axle. The cables are
sealed and do not require lubrication, but may require
occasional adjustment (Ref Fig. 35 on page 22). The only
other maintenance required is periodic lubrication of the
linkage and related moving parts.

PROLONGED STORAGE
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death resulting from a possible explosion:
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not
adequately ventilated. Do not smoke near
the fuel tank or refuel near open flame or
electrical items which could produce a
spark.
Store vehicle in a clean, dry area. Do not
store in same area as a stove, furnace,
water heater, or other appliance that uses a
pilot light or has a device that can create a
spark.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for
leaks or breaks that could result in fuel spill-
age.
Always wear safety glasses while refueling
to prevent possible eye injury from gasoline
or gasoline vapor.
Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from
moving parts. Use care not to contact hot
objects. Raise the rear of the vehicle and
support on jack stands before attempting to
run the engine.
Preparing the engine for a prolonged storage period (30
days or more) calls for a few simple steps to prevent a
build up of varnish and gum in the carburetor and corro-
sion in the engine.
•
Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack
stands. Refer to ‘Lifting the Vehicle’ for proper lift-
ing procedure and safety information.
•
Disconnect the fuel hose at the fuel tank and plug
hose.
•
With proper ventilation, depress the accelerator
pedal and allow engine to run until it stops due to
lack of fuel.
•
Remove spark plugs (Refer to SPARK PLUGS on
page 21) and pour about 1 oz. (30 ml) of engine oil
into each cylinder. Replace spark plugs, ground
spark plug wires and use starter to turn engine
over a few seconds to distribute oil.
•
Add a gasoline additive to the tank in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
•
Reattach fuel line to tank and drive the vehicle for
several minutes to circulate the additive through
the carburetor.
•
While engine is still warm, change oil (Refer to
CHANGING THE OIL on page 16).
•
Clean body, chassis and engine of debris, mud,
chaff or grass (Refer to AIR INTAKE AND COOL-
ING FINS on page 20).
HARDWARE
Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref Fig. 36 on page
23).
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the
Technician’s Repair and Service Manual for specific
torque values.
Generally, three grades of hardware are used in the vehi-
cle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head and grade 8 hardware is
identified by 6 marks on the head. Unmarked hardware is
Grade 2 (Ref Fig. 36 on page 23).
