Air Intake And Cooling Fins; Rear Axle; Checking The Lubricant Level - Cushman SHUTTLE 2+2 G Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.

AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS

To prevent possible burns, engine parts should be
kept clean to reduce risk of overheating and ignition
of accumulated debris. After every off road use,
allow to cool and then check for a build up of dirt and
debris in the air intake and cooling fins. Dirt and
debris may clog the engine's air cooling system.
Clean areas shown to prevent engine damage. Keep
linkages, springs and controls clean. Keep area
around muffler free of any combustible material.
At least once a year, (or more often under adverse conditions)
the cooling system should be cleaned. Cleaning will assure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins. Compressed air
may be used for routine cooling system maintenance.

REAR AXLE

The rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check plug located
on the driver side at the rear of the housing. Unless leakage of
rear axle lubricant is evident, an annual lubricant check is suffi-
cient.

Checking the Lubricant Level

Tool List
Socket, 13 mm ............................................................ 1
Ratchet ........................................................................ 1
Funnel ......................................................................... 1
For vehicles with LSD axle, add 2 ounces of friction modifier
Clean the area around the check and fill plugs. Remove the
check plug. The correct lubricant level is just below the bottom of
the threaded hole. If lubricant is to be added, remove the fill plug
and add lubricant using a funnel. Add lubricant slowly until lubri-
cant starts to seep from the check plug hole. Install the check
plug and the fill plug. In the event that the lubricant is to be
replaced, a drain plug is provided at the bottom of the differential
housing.
