Checking & Adding Engine Coolant CAUTION Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot . When cool slowly rotate to the first stop and allow sufficient time for excess pressure to escape removing the cap completely. 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, remove the hood panel, set the parking brake, and shut off the engine. 2. Check to see that the coolant level is between the FULL (a) and LOW (b) marks of recovery tank (c). See Figure 5-12. (c) (a) Checking & Adding Brake Fluid CAUTION Never operate the vehicle if the brake fluid is below the minimum mark. Use only DOT3 from a sealed container. Other types of brake fluid may ruin synthetic resin or rubber installed in brake system components and may cause brake failure. Avoid contamination of the brake fluid thoroughly clean around the filler cap before removing. Do not open the brake fluid reservoir cap unless absolutely necessary. Use extreme care when filling the reservoir. If brake fluid spill on coolant hose, wash off with water immediately, as brake fluid quickly ruins synthetic resin or rubber hoses. 1. Check to see that the brake fluid level on the brake fluid reservoir (a) is up to the MIN (b) level. See Figure 5-14. 3. Step on the pedal and measure the stroke (b). There should be less than 4.7" (120 mm) of stroke (b). If the measurement is outside of these specifications, see an authorized service dealer to have the brake adjusted. Checking & Adjusting the Parking Brake Pull the parking brake to apply the brakes with the key switch in the ON position and the parking brake indicator should come on. To release the parking brake, depress the parking pedal. Make sure the parking brake warning lamp on the display goes off when parking brake is OFF. If the parking brake is in need of adjustment, proceed as follows: 1. Locate the parking brake adjustment nut near the engine. See Figure 5-16. (c) (a) (b) (b) (b) Figure 5-12 3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add water only up to the FULL (a) level. In case of leakage add anti-freeze and water in the specified mixing ratio up to the FULL (a) level. (See Flushing and Changing Coolant section). • Use clean fresh water and anti-freeze to fill the recovery tank. • If water should leak, consult your local Dealer. Note: If the radiator cap has to be removed, follow the cautions above and securely retighten the cap. Cleaning the Radiator Screen CAUTION Be sure to stop the engine before removing the screen. Note: Radiator screen must be cleaned from debris to prevent engine from overheating 1. Park the utility vehicle on a flat surface. 2. Remove the radiator cover. 3. Detach the screen and clean the radiator and radiator screen and radiator fins of all debris. See Figure 5-13. Figure 5-14 2. If it is below the MIN (b) level add brake fluid, but do not exceed the MAX (c) level. Checking the Brake Pedal WARNING Stop the engine and chock the wheels before checking brake pedal. Inspect the brake pedals for free play (a), pedal stroke (b) and smooth operation. Refer to Figure 5-15. (a) (a) Figure 5-16 2. Loosen the lock nut (a) and then tighten the bolt (b) to adjust the parking brake. Turn the bolt until it touches, then back it off a 1/4-turn. See Figure 5-16. If there is play in the parking brake handle there is a secondary adjustment that can be performed. 1. Look inside the driver's side wheel well and locate the adjustment point. Slide back the rubber cover (a) on the adjustment nuts (b). See Figure 5-17. (a) (b) Figure 5-13 16 Section 5 - Product Care (b) Figure 5-15 1. Release the parking brake. 2. Step on the pedal and measure the free play (a). There should be between .3" and .5" (7-14 mm) of free play (a). If the free play (a) measurement is outside of these specifications, see an authorized service dealer to have the brake adjusted. Figure 5-17 2. Adjust the parking brake handle nuts (b) until the free play in the handle is gone. See Figure 5-17. Checking & Adjusting the Shift Lever If the shifter and the display image on the instrument cluster do not match or the utility vehicle is not shifting, a shift cable adjustment can be performed. 1. Remove the hood and the interior hood panel.

excess pressure to escape removing the cap completely.
1.
Park the vehicle on a flat surface, remove
the hood panel, set the parking brake, and
shut off the engine.
2.
Check to see that the coolant level is
between the FULL (a) and LOW (b) marks of
recovery tank (c). See Figure 5-12.

3.
When the coolant level drops due to
evaporation, add water only up to the FULL (a)
level.
In case of leakage add anti-freeze and
water in the specified mixing ratio up to the
FULL (a) level. (See Flushing and Changing
Coolant section).
•
Use clean fresh water and anti-freeze
to fill the recovery tank.
•
If water should leak, consult your
local
Dealer.
Note:
If the radiator cap has to be removed,
follow the cautions above and securely
retighten the cap.
