Make sure the parking brake indicator light comes on when the parking brake is ON. • Inspect the Instrument panel for broken gauges and warning lamps. • Check the headlights and turn signals. Replace if broken. • Check seat belt and OPS. Do not operate utility vehicle until repaired if either is broken. • Check the joint boots on the drive shaft for damage. If they joint boots are damaged, see an authorized service dealer. • Check tire pressure. See Tire Pressure in this section. Maintenance WARNING To avoid personal injury, be sure to check and service the vehicle on a flat surface with the engine off and the parking brake ON. If servicing under the cargo bed, be sure that the cargo bed is supported so that it can not inadvertently close. Do not touch muffler or exhaust pipes while they are hot; Otherwise, severe burns could result. WARNING If vehicle diagnosis requires the vehicle to be run with the wheels off the ground the free wheeling state will cause the engine management system to create a lean condition. This lean condition will cause the exhaust system to become hotter than normal operating conditions. Exercise extreme caution when working around the exhaust components and allow extra time for the exhaust components to cool. Tire Pressure The recommended operating tire pressure is 14 psi (70 kPa) for all tires. Overinflating above recommended tire pressure can reduce the life of the tire. Check tire pressures before each use. Note: If the cargo bed is at maximum capacity (1000 lbs), the rear tire pressure can be increased to 18 psi (124 kPa). Lug Nuts Check torque of lug nuts after first 50 hours of use and every 100 hours thereafter. Tighten lug nuts in a diagonal pattern. Torque lug nuts to 65-75 lb-ft using a torque wrench.
