within the 'normal' range of stopping distances. If the
vehicle stops more than 4 ft. (1.2 m) beyond the accept-
able stopping distance or pulls to one side, the vehicle
has failed the test and should be tested again.
If the vehicle fails the second test, it should immediately
be removed from service. The vehicle must be inspected
by a qualified mechanic who should refer to the TROU-
BLESHOOTING section in the Technicain's Repair and
Service Manual.

REAR AXLE

The only maintenance required for the first five years is
the periodic inspection of the lubricant level. The rear
axle is provided with a lubricant level check/fill plug
located on the bottom of the differential (Ref Fig. 17 on
page 16). Unless leakage is evident, the lubricant need
only be replaced after five years.

Checking the Lubricant Level

Clean the area around the check/fill plug and remove
plug. The correct lubricant level is just below the bottom
of the threaded hole. If lubricant is low, add lubricant as
required. Add lubricant slowly until lubricant starts to
seep from the hole. Install the check/fill plug. In the event
that the lubricant is to be replaced, the vehicle must be
elevated and the oil pan removed or the oil siphoned
through the check/fill hole (Ref Fig. 17 on page 16).
