Fuel Gauge

When the vehicle is left unattended, the key should be
removed to prevent inadvertent operation of the vehicle.

If the vehicle is equipped with custom accessories, some
accessories may remain operational with the key switch in the
‘OFF’ position.

Low Oil Pressure Light

A low oil pressure light is located to the right side of the
key/light switch (Ref Fig. 12 on page 8). If oil pressure
drops below 1 - 4 psi (.1 - .2 kg/cm2), the oil pressure
switch will activate the light. Check oil level (Refer to
page 16). If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on
dipstick, a mechanical problem exists within the engine
and the vehicle must not be driven. Contact your local
dealer

To prevent engine damage, do not operate engine until
oil pressure is corrected.

If oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick, add oil to bring
level to FULL mark (Refer to page 16). Drive vehicle a
short distance and check oil pressure. If oil pressure light
does not come on, continue to use vehicle.

Fuel Gauge

An electric fuel gauge is located to the right side of the
key/light switch. It indicates the amount of fuel in the tank
(Ref Fig. 12 on page 8).

Direction Selector

Located on the console between the seats, this lever per-
mits the selection of either forward or reverse (Ref Fig.
13 on page 9). Neutral is the straight up position between
forward and reverse. The vehicle should be left in for-
ward when unattended.

To prevent component damage, the vehicle must be
completely stopped before moving the direction selector.

Parking Brake

The hand operated parking brake is located on the con-
sole between the front seats (Ref Fig. 13 on page 9). The
brake is engaged when the handle is raised and disen-
gaged when the handle is parallel to the seat bottom.

When leaving the vehicle unattended, engage the park-
ing brake by raising the handle until it locks in place. To
release the parking brake, depress the release button in
the end of the handle while slightly raising the handle,
then lower the parking brake handle.

Differential Lock

The rear drive axle is equipped with a manually operated
locking differential. With the differential unlocked, if one
drive wheel looses traction, all available power is trans-
ferred to that wheel until it regains traction. With the dif-
ferential

locked,

power is distributed to both drive wheels

at all times.
