MAINTENANCE

GEAR BOX OIL

BRAKE FLUID

After 500 miles you will want to change the oil in the gear box.
1) Remove the square head drain plug at the bottom of the gear box and drain the oil into a pan. Be careful how
much torque you put on the bolts, the plug bolts are made of a semi-soft metal and you don't want to strip them.
2) Replace the bottom drain plug bolt and remove the square head side overflow plug. Take your time and go
easy.
3) Remove the white oil spout plug at the top of the gear box and SLOWLY pour the oil into the spout area until it
begins to come out the side overflow hole. It will take about 6-8 oz. of lubricant.
4) Replace the overflow plug and the oil spout plug.
5) Look in the phone book for a place that recycles oil or disposes of oil.
6) After the break-in period, check periodically with a dipstick and change when dirty.
It is recommended to use Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer at 100%. A gear oil weighted at 80/90 will be
suitable, too.

Inside the front deck lid and to the right is the brake fluid reservoir. Check the level
regularly. Gently twist the cap and lift off. You will see directly into the brake fluid
reservoir. If the fluid level is low, fill with DOT Type 4 brake fluid, using a funnel. Do
not spill fluid on tires, brakes or paint. Also, the brake light on the voltage meter will illuminate if the master
brake cylinder needs attention or if the brake fluid is low.

WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID TANK

The Xebra steel Sedan comes with a windshield wiper fluid tank inside the front deck lid to the left. Check the
level regularly. As with the brake fluid reservoir, gently twist the cap and lift off. You will see directly into the
wiper fluid tank and fill appropriately when needed.

ZERK FITTING

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

HEATER

Periodically lube the Zerk fitting with a high-quality, marine-grade, waterproof lubricant. It is located just
above the front tire.

It is recommended to have regular maintenance performed on your Xebra by a trained technician. At
1000 miles, your dealer should change the gear oil. Also, the batteries should be checked with a digital
volt meter. This will catch a failed charger early. For maintenance schedules, please refer to your
Service Intervals Sheet. After that, your dealer will recommend a maintenance schedule based upon
your driving conditions.

The seat adjustment lever is below the front edge of the driver's and passenger's seats. We recommend that you
make the adjustments BEFORE you get in, you could hit your knees on the steering wheel or dashboard if you
move forward too fast, or hurt someone's legs or feet in the back seat if you move back suddenly. Be sure to keep
fingers, feet and any other objects out of the seat track.

Adjust the back of the seat forward or back by turning the large dial on the side of the driver's or passenger's seats.
This is something you can do while seated, but be aware of people in the back seat. Their knees and feet can be
cramped or hurt while you are making the adjustments.

The switch for the heater is located on the mid console. There are two vents, both in the front, one on the driver's side and one on the
passenger's side. The heater is a 72-volt unit. It is primarily used to defog the windshield. Using it will rapidly deplete the batteries,
shortening your range.
