OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Page 24 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
ment in the same way it was removed, being sure that
the clips are fastened securely.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3) pumps
of grease in any grease fitting at any
one time. Excess grease may cause grease seals to fail or
grease migration into areas that could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fit-
ting could damage grease seals and cause premature
bearing failure (Ref. Fig. 37 on page 24).
SPARK PLUGS
Tool List Qty. Required
Spark plug socket, 13/16", 1/2" drive........................... 1
Ratchet, 1/2" drive ....................................................... 1
Plug gauge, wire type.................................................. 1
Anti-seize compound................................................ AR
Torque wrench, 1/2" drive, ft. lbs. ................................ 1
Use care not to over-tighten the plug.
Over-tightening can cause damage to
the aluminum cylinder head threads.
Remove and inspect the spark plugs at intervals indi-
cated in the Periodic Service Schedule (Ref. Fig. 19 on
page 16). All new spark plugs should be properly gapped
before installation (Ref. Fig. 39 on page 26). Apply a light
coat of anti-seize compound and tighten to 18 ft. lbs. (24
Nm) torque.
Fouled spark plugs are indicated by a wet, black appear-
ance. This could be caused by a dirty air filter element or
other restrictions in the air intake system. Incorrectly
adjusted valves, spark plug wires which are in poor con-
dition or poor quality fuel could also contribute to the
problem.
PROLONGED STORAGE
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
resulting from a possi-
ble explosion:
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not adequate-
ly ventilated. Do not smoke near the fuel tank or
refuel near open flame or electrical items which
could produce a spark.
Store vehicle in a clean, dry area. Do not store in
same area as a stove, furnace, water heater, or
other appliance that uses a pilot light or has a
device that can create a spark.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for leaks or
breaks that could result in fuel spillage.
Always wear safety glasses while refueling to pre-
vent possible eye injury from gasoline or gasoline
vapor.
Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from mov-
ing parts. Use care not to contact hot objects.
Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack
stands before attempting to run the engine.
Preparing the engine for a prolonged storage period (30
days or more) calls for a few simple steps to prevent a
build up of varnish and gum in the carburetor and corro-
sion in the engine.
• Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack
stands. Refer to ‘Lifting the Vehicle’ for proper lift-
ing procedure and safety information.
• Disconnect the fuel hose at the fuel tank and plug
hose.
• With proper ventilation, depress the accelerator
pedal and allow engine to run until it stops due to
lack of fuel.
