Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must
be serviced more frequently on vehicles used under
severe driving conditions such as extreme tempkera-
tures, extreme dust/debris conditions, frequent use
with maximum load.
To access the powertrain for routine maintenance, lift or
remove the seat and remove the rear access panel. For
major repair, refer to the appropriate Technician's Re-
pair and Service Manual.
Some service procedures may require the vehicle to be
lifted. Refer to LIFTING THE VEHICLE for proper lifting
procedure and safety information.

TIRE INSPECTION

Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule. Inflation pressures should be checked
when the tires are cool. Be sure to install the valve dust
cap after checking or inflating.

REAR AXLE

The only maintenance required for the first five years is
the periodic inspection of the rear axle for lubricant leak-
installed are considered 'wet' and require approximately 80% of the torque required for 'dry' fasteners.

age. Unless leakage is evident, the lubricant need only
be replaced after five years.

HARDWARE

Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref. Fig. 13).
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the
Technician's Repair and Service Manual for specific
torque values.
Generally, three classes of standard hardware and two
classes of metric hardware are used in the vehicle.
Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three marks
on the hexagonal head and grade 8 hardware is identi-
fied by 6 marks on the head. Metric hardware is marked
on the head with 8.8 or 10.9. Unmarked hardware is
Grade 2.
