DRIVE BELT CLEANING
Cleaning the drive belt will maximize belt and sprocket life and minimize drive
line noise. Clean the belt at every tire change. Clean the belt more often if
operating in dirty, dusty or high debris environments.
1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with a cup of warm water.
2. Use a soft nylon brush to clean the belt and sprocket teeth with the soapy
water. Clean well in corner areas where road debris and belt dust can collect.
3. Rinse the belt with clear water, then dry thoroughly.
Do not inspect or adjust drive belt tension when the belt is wet. Improper
SUSPENSION INSPECTIONS
Always inspect the suspensions at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 67. Refer to the SLINGSHOT Service
Manual, or your authorized dealer can assist.
FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Inspect fuel lines and connections for wear, deterioration, kinks, damage or
leaks. Promptly see your dealer for service if any of these conditions exist.
