Maintenance

Body lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as
door hinges, hood hinges, and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a non-freez-
ing lubricant on locks during cold weath-
er.
Make sure the engine hood secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.

Element cleaning

This element may be air cleaned or
replaced, depending on its condition.
Unless it is very dirty, merely shake it to
remove foreign particles. Each time this
filter is inspected, wipe the inside of the
air cleaner housing and cover with a
damp cloth. If the vehicle is operated in
extremely dusty or sandy areas, clean or
replace this element more often than at
the usual recommended intervals.

NOTICE

Do not drive with the air cleaner

removed; this will result in excessive

engine wear.

CAUTION -

Engine

Driving without an air cleaner
encourages backfiring, which could
cause a fire in the engine compart-
ment.
