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
TRANSPORTING VEHICLE
TOWING
This vehicle is not
designed to be towed.
It is recommended that the vehicle be moved by placing
the entire vehicle on a trailer, flatbed truck or other suit-
able transport.
NEUTRAL LOCK
To prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear wheels
during service operations.
To operate:
Position direction selector lever between ‘F’ and ‘R’. Turn
key switch to ‘OFF’. Rotate pin on rear axle shift lever as
shown (Ref. Fig. 13 on page 10). The pin will snap into a
cavity in the differential case. When in this position, the
direction selector remains locked in the neutral position.
To unlock the direction selector, pull the pin out and
rotate until the pointed portion of the pin handle fits into
the detent position in the rear axle shift lever.
HAULING
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
while transporting vehi-
cle:
Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on vehicle being transported.
Always remove windshield before transporting.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50 mph
(80 kph).
If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the
sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When transporting vehicle below highway speeds, check
for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at mount-
ing points. Always remove windshield when transporting.
Always check that the vehicle and contents are ade-
quately secured before transporting. The rated capacity
of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehi-
cle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle
weight) and load. Lock the park brake and secure the
vehicle using ratchet tie downs.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
from improper servicing
techniques:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operations
before reading and understanding all notes, cau-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made
to the powertrain while the engine is running
must be made with both drive wheels raised and
vehicle properly supported on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of engine damage, never
operate vehicle at full throttle for more than 4 - 5
seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no load’ condition.
Wear eye protection when working on
the vehicle. Use extra care when work-
ing around batteries, or using sol-
vents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical
arc, which could result in a battery explosion, turn
off all electrical loads from the battery before
removing battery wires.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl
tape to reduce the possibility
of a dropped wrench ‘short-
ing out’ a battery, which could result in an explo-
sion.
