BRAKES
After the vehicle has been put into service, it is recom-
mended that the brakes be checked by periodically con-
ducting a brake performance test.
To prevent severe injury or death
resulting from operating a vehicle
with improperly operating brake
system, the braking system must be properly main-
tained. All driving brake tests must be done in a
safe location with regard for the safety of all per-
sonnel.
NOTICE: .Over time, a subtle loss of performance
may take place. Therefore, it is important to estab-
lish the standard with a new vehicle.
For test method and brake service, refer to MECHANI-
CAL BRAKES section.
TIRES
Tire condition should be inspected on a daily basis. Infla-
tion pressures should be checked on a weekly basis
when the tires are cool. Be sure to reinstall valve dust
cap after checking or inflating tire. For additional informa-
tion, refer to WHEELS AND TIRES section.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
To prevent personal injury to occu-
pants of other highway vehicles, be
sure that the vehicle and contents
are adequately secured to trailer.
Do not ride on vehicle being trailered.
Maximum speed with top is 50 mph (80
kph).
If the vehicle is to be transported on a trailer at highway
speeds, the seat bottom secured. Always check that the
vehicle and contents are adequately secured before trail-
ering the vehicle. The rated capacity of the trailer must
exceed the weight of the vehicle (see GENERAL SPECI-
FICATIONS for vehicle weight) and load. Lock the park-
ing brake and secure the vehicle to the trailer using
ratchet tie downs.
WINTER OR PROLONGED STORAGE
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 winter or a prolonged storage
calls for a few simple steps to prevent build up of varnish
and gum in the fuel system and corrosion in the engine.
Place the direction selector in the neutral position and
engage the neutral lock (Ref. Fig. 4). Add fuel stabilizer
to the tank in accordance with the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations. Disconnect the fuel line from the engine
at the fuel tank
. With proper area of ventilation, start
the engine and allow to run until the engine stops due to
lack of fuel. Remove the air filter and spray a commer-
cial fogging or cylinder oil into the fuel system while
operating the starter for 2 - 3 seconds. Reinstall the air
filter and reattach the fuel line to the tank.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE
VEHICLE
When pressure washing vehicle, do
not use pressure in excess of 700
psi. To prevent cosmetic damage,
do not use any abrasive or reactive solvents to
clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning mate-
rials be used.
Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim
requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a
sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water is the best method of pre-
serving the painted surfaces.
Do not use hot water, strong soap or harsh chemical
detergents.
Rubber parts should be cleaned with non-abrasive
household cleaner.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive prod-
ucts designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will
enhance the appearance and durability of the painted
surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These mate-
rials could cause corrosion of underbody parts. It is rec-
ommended that the underbody be flushed occasionally
with plain water. Thoroughly clean any areas where mud
or other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed
areas should be loosened to ease it’s removal, taking
care not to chip or otherwise damage paint.
