OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Page 6 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
To prevent draining the battery, always place differential lock
switches in the ‘unlocked’ position, turn the key switch to ‘off’
and remove the key.
To engage rear differential lock, stop vehicle and push
upper portion of rear differential lock switch. To engage
front and rear differential lock, stop vehicle and push
upper portion of both differential lock switches. Indicator
lights in gauge cluster illuminate to remind operator when
locks are engaged.
To disengage differential locks, stop vehicle and push
lower portion of switches. After unlocking, the differential
may remain locked if driving is resumed in a straight line.
This is a normal occurrence caused by pressure remain-
ing against the gears and not allowing the locking mech-
anism to release. To avoid this, simply turn vehicle as
acceleration begins or accelerate in reverse.
ACCELERATOR
With engine running, push accelerator pedal to acceler-
ate in direction selected (Ref. Fig. 9 on page 6). Release
pedal to slow vehicle and engine will idle. To stop vehicle
quickly, apply service brake.
FUEL
To reduce possibility of
severe injury or death
from improper fuel han-
dling:
Do not smoke near the fuel tank.
Do not refuel near open flame or electrical items,
including cellular phones, which could produce a
spark.
Never fill a gas can in the bed of a vehicle. Static
discharge could ignite gasoline vapor and cause
an explosion.
Always handle gasoline in a well ventilated area.
Always wear eye protection to protect against
splashed fuel and fuel vapors.
Always allow adequate space for the expansion of
gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below
bottom of filler neck.
Inspect fuel cap, tank and other components for
leaks or deterioration that could cause a hazard-
ous condition.
Fuel cap is located on passenger side panel of vehicle
beside seat (Ref. Fig. 10 on page 7). Fuel tank is located
under passenger side of seat. Fill tank with fresh, clean,
automotive grade gasoline. High altitude or heavy use/
load applications may benefit from higher octane gaso-
line.
Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol.
Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformu-
lated gasoline, are gasoline blended with
alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can damage the
fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operat-
ing symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or
ether.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow adequate space for the expan-
sion of gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below bottom
of filler neck.
FUEL GAUGE
An electric fuel gauge is located left of steering wheel in
gauge cluster (Ref. Fig. 10 on page 7). It indicates
amount of fuel in tank.
