Periodic Maintenance Chart
WARNING!
Always wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear
a full-face shield and gloves when working with or around batteries and electrical connectors. Always
use insulated tools when working with or near batteries. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in serious injury or death.
NOTICE:
Damage to electrical connections and components will occur if they are unplugged before
the main power connector is disconnected.
WARNING!
Before servicing the vehicle’s electrical system, always disconnect the main power
connector first, then disconnect any electrical accessory connections, then disconnect the negative
cable from the 12-volt battery (if equipped), then disconnect the negative terminal from the main battery
pack. See page 53.
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable
condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection
reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine GEM parts are available from your
authorized GEM dealer.
Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on page 150.
Tip:
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe
service and adjustment procedures, your authorized dealer can perform these operations.
