Owner’s Manual and Service Guide

Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings

It is important that proper techniques and cleaning mate-
rials be used. Using excessive water pressure may
cause severe injury to operator or bystander, damage to
seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or electrical sys-
tem. Do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi (4825
Kpa) to wash exterior of vehicle.

Clean windshield with lots of water and a clean cloth.
Minor scratches may be removed using a commercial
plastic polish or Plexus

plastic cleaner available from

the service parts department.

Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim
requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a
sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.

Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.

The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is
required to preserve the painted surfaces.

Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive prod-
ucts designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will
enhance the appearance and durability of the painted
surfaces.

Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These mate-
rials 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
it’s removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise damage
paint.

Tool List

Qty. Required

Floor jack .................................................................... 1

Jack stands ................................................................. 4

Chocks ........................................................................ 4

Some servicing operations may require the front wheels,
the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle be raised.

To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
from a vehicle falling

from a jack:

Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level surface.

Never get under a vehicle while it is supported by
a jack.

Use jack stands and test the stability of the vehi-
cle on the stands.

Always place chocks in front and behind the
wheels not being raised.

Use extreme care since the vehicle is extremely
unstable during the lifting process.

When lifting vehicle, position jacks and
jack stands at the areas indicated only.

To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and
behind each front wheel (Ref. Fig. 17 on page 12). Cen-
ter the jack under the rear frame crossmember. Raise the
vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer
ends of the rear axle.

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
two jack stands.

Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the
vehicle enough to place jack stands under the frame
crossmember as indicated.

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all
four jack stands.

If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place
the chocks in front and behind each wheel not being
raised to stabilize the vehicle.

Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.

inflation pressure rating on tire sidewall.

To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pres-
surize tire with small amount of air applied inter-
mittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of
the small tires, overinflation can occur in sec-
onds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation when seating a bead. Protect face
and eyes from escaping air when removing valve
