WARNING
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 7.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow the established preventive
maintenance program. Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime
and expensive repairs that result from neglect. Please use the Retriever CUV Pre-Operation and Daily
Safety Checklist on page 14 and the following Periodic Service Schedule and Periodic Lubrication
Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly repaired. This will
prevent further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions.
MAINTENANCE
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 7.
• If any problems are found during scheduled inspection or service, do not operate the
vehicle until repairs are made. Failure to make necessary repairs could result in fire,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing
the vehicle. Failure to do so, could result in severe personal injury or death.
• Remove the key, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, engage
parking brake and chock the wheels prior to servicing.
• Moving parts: Do not attempt to service vehicle while the engine is running.
• Do not work on vehicle powertrain or under the cargo bed when it is loaded and/or if
the parking brake is disengaged.
• Hot! Do not attempt to service hot engine or exhaust system. Failure to heed this warning
could result in severe burns.
• Do not remove prop rod or close cargo bed until all persons and objects are clear of the
bed area. Lower the bed gently, keeping all persons and body parts clear. Do not drop
the bed. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe personal injury or
death.
• Cargo bed prop rod and assembly should never be tampered with or altered. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in severe personal injury or death.
PERIODIC SERVICE SCHEDULE
• Periodic maintenance will help keep your CUV in the safest, most reliable condition.
Inspection, adjustment and lubrication intervals of important components are explained
in the chart on the following pages.
• Maintenance intervals are based upon average driving conditions and an average CUV
speed of approximately 10-mph. CUVs subjected to severe use, such as operation in
wet, dusty or salt-water areas, should be inspected and serviced more frequently. If you
are not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have your local Service
Center perform these operations.
• Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust or replace parts as necessary. NOTE: Inspection may
reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Yerf-Dog parts from your
local Service Center.
