GENERAL INFORMATION & ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions and Warnings.
B
To prevent severe injury or death resulting
from operating a vehicle with improperly oper-
ating brake system, the braking system must
be properly maintained. All driving brake tests
must be done in a safe location with regard for
the safety of all personnel
.
Over time, a subtle loss of performance may take place.
Therefore, it is important to establish the standard with a new
vehicle.
For test method and brake service, refer to MECHANI-
CAL BRAKES section.
TIRES
Tire condition should be inspected on a daily basis. In-
flation pressures should be checked on a weekly basis
when the tires are cool. Be sure to reinstall valve dust
cap after checking or inflating tire. For additional infor-
mation, refer to WHEELS AND TIRES section.

VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
vehicle damage, read and understand all
instructions supplied by the manufacturer of
the pressure washer.
When pressure washing the exterior of the vehicle, do
not use pressure in excess of 700 psi. To reduce the
possibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abra-
sive or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning ma-
terials be used. Using excessive water pressure may
cause severe injury to the operator or bystander, dam-
age to the seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or
electrical system. Do not use pressure in excess of 700
psi to wash the exterior of the vehicle.
Clean the windshield with lots of water, a mild soap and
a clean cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc., requires
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.

NOTICE
Repair and Service Manual
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is re-
quired to preserve the painted surfaces.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive
products designed for 'clear coat' automotive finishes
will enhance the appearance and durability of the paint-
ed surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These ma-
terials will cause corrosion of underbody parts unless
flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean
any areas where mud or other debris can collect. Sedi-
ment packed in closed areas should be loosened to
ease its removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise
damage paint.
NOTICE
If the engine does not start or runs improperly after washing,
remove the spark plug wire (by pulling the spark plug boot,
never the wire) and blow it dry. Reinstall the wire.

SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD

The sun top does not provide protection from
roll-over or falling objects.
The windshield does not provide protection
from tree limbs or flying objects.
The sun top and windshield provide some pro-
tection from the elements; however, they will
not keep the operator and passenger dry in a
downpour. This vehicle is not equipped with
seat belts and the sun top has not been
designed to provide roll-over protection. In
addition, the sun top does not protect against
falling objects nor does the windshield protect
against flying objects and tree limbs. Keep
arms and legs inside of the vehicle while it is
moving.
