GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Adjustments and maintenance must be done by a qualified technician. If the correct adjustments can not be made,
contact your Cushman Dealer.
Inspect the equipment according to the maintenance schedule and keep complete records.
• Keep the equipment clean.
• Keep all moving parts correctly adjusted and lubricated.
• Replace worn or damaged parts before you operate the vehicle.
• Keep all fluids at the correct level.
• Keep the shields in position and all hardware tight.
• Keep the tires correctly inflated.
When you make adjustments or repairs, do not wear jewelry or loose fitting clothing that can be caught on moving parts.
Refer to the repair and service manual for the removal and assembly procedures.
When discarding hazardous materials (batteries, lubricants, fuel, anti-freeze), follow local, state or federal-recommended
procedures.
SERVICING ON THE VEHICLE
Before servicing on the vehicle, empty any load in the truck bed, sprayer tank or other accessory. The truck bed must be
completely lifted and the cylinder support installed before you can service the vehicle.
1. Start the engine.
2. Use the lift control lever to completely lift the truck bed or
accessory.
3. Engage the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the
key.
4. Remove the cylinder support from the storage pin and
install on the cylinder rod.
5. When service is completed, remove the cylinder support
from the cylinder rod. Put the cylinder support on the stor-
age pin.

Before you clean, adjust or repair this equipment, disengage all drives,
lower accessories to the ground, engage the parking brake, stop the
engine and remove the key.
Make sure the vehicle is parked on a solid and level surface. Never work
on a vehicle that is lifted only by the jack. Always use the jack stands.
Never service the vehicle without the truck bed or accessory lifted and
the cylinder support installed on the cylinder rod. When you service the
vehicle without the cylinder supported, the bed or accessory can acci-
dentally lower and cause injury or death.
