MAINTENANCE
Learn about basic maintenance that you can perform on the vehicle yourself, as
well as information about how to best maintain the vehicle.

Safety Precautions

Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given
task.

Maintenance Safety

n
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from the 12-volt battery, all High Voltage system, and all fuel-
related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them, causing a fire.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner,
not gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the
battery or compressed air.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can
kill you. Only operate the engine if there is sufficient ventilation.
Vehicle Safety
n
• The vehicle must be stationary and parked on level ground with the
parking brake set and the engine off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you. Make sure to let the engine and
exhaust system cool thoroughly before touching vehicle parts.

instructed, and keep your hands and limbs away from moving parts.
