Fast 2. Locate the shift lever adjustment nuts (a). See Figure 5-18. (a) Figure 5-18 3. Adjust the nuts (a) up or down until the shift lever is working properly. See Figure 5-18. Checking the Engine Start System WARNING Do not allow anyone near the vehicle while testing. If the vehicle does not pass the test, do not operate the vehicle. 1. Sit on the operator's seat. 2. Place the shift lever in the NEUTRAL position. 3. Set the parking brake and stop the engine. 4. Move the shift lever to: LOW, HIGH, PARK or REVERSE position. Do not step on the brake pedal. 5. Turn the key to START position. 6. The engine should not crank. 7. If it cranks see an authorized service dealer. 8. Repeat steps 4 and 5 but when turning the key to start position step on the brake pedal. The engine should crank. 9. If it does not crank see an authorized service dealer. Adjusting the Shocks There are three adjustment points on the shocks. The rebound (a), pre-load spring (b) and damping rate (c) can be adjusted. Refer to Figure 5-19 for the following instructions. (c) (b) C (a) 1. Insert a standard screw driver into the adjustment. 2. Rotate the screw into one of the 18 positions between "S" (position 0) and "F" (18). Rotate the screw clockwise (towards the "S" or "0" position) to slow the rebound and counterclockwise (towards the "F" or "18" position) to speed up the rebound. Pre-Load Spring Adjuster (b) The pre-load adjuster is located in the body of the shock and controls the height of the vehicle. It can be adjusted to accommodate for different load situations. Note: This adjustment requires a spanner wrench to complete. A spanner wrench is included in the tool kit shipped with this utility vehicle. 1. Using a spanner wrench, loosen the upper lock nut. 2. Adjust the pre-load adjuster nut to the desired setting. Turn the pre-load adjuster clockwise to increase the compression force (raise the utility vehicle) and turn the pre-load adjuster nut counter-clockwise to decrease the compression force (lower the utility vehicle). Damping Rate Adjuster (c) The compression adjuster is located on the upper part of the shock and controls the ride of the utility vehicle and the impact resistance of the shocks. Note: Each position has a stop or "click" to indicate which of the 18 positions it is in. 1. To increase the stiffness of the suspension and increase the absorption of impacts, rotate the compression adjuster screw clockwise towards the "SLOW" (or "0") position. 2. To decrease the stiffness (soften the ride) rotate the compression adjuster screw counter-clockwise towards the "FAST" (or "18") position. To return the utility vehicle to its stock setting, use the chart below: Rebound Adjuster Pre-Load Adjuster Compression Adjuster Front Position 7 295 mm Position 5 Rear Position 4 300 mm Position 3 * -- These setting are based on a "full load" condition. 250 lb (113 kg) driver, 250 lb (113 kg) passenger and 500 lb (227 kg) cargo load. Service 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. Changing the Oil Note: Oil with an American Petroleum Classification (API) service classification should be used. 10W/40SL, JASO-MA grade oil is recommended. 5. The engine oil capacity is 2.22 quarts (2.1L) Replacing Oil Filter WARNING Be sure to stop the engine before replacing oil filter. Allow engine to cool down sufficiently, oil can be hot and can burn. 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, remove the seat and open the engine access cover. 2. Remove the oil filter (a). See Figure 5-20. (a) Figure 5-20 3. Put a film of clean engine oil on the rubber seal of the new filter. 4. Tighten the filter until it contacts the mounting surface. 5. Tighten filter by hand an additional 1/2-turn only. Draining the PCV Accumulator The PCV accumulator should be drained at each oil changed to remove oil condensation. There are two PCV accumulators, one near the front of the air intake box and one near the rear. To drain the PCV accumulator, pinch the valve at the bottom of the tube and allow the condensation to run out. See Figure 5-21. S Slow F Figure 5-19 Rebound Adjuster (a) The rebound adjuster is located near the bottom of the shock and controls the "bounce back" speed of the utility vehicle. To adjust the rebound or "bounce-back" speed, follow the steps below: Note: Each position has a stop or "click" to indicate the setting. WARNING Be sure to stop the engine before replacing oil. Allow engine to cool down sufficiently, oil can be hot and can burn. 1. Park the vehicle on flat surface and raise the cargo bed. 2. To drain the used oil, remove the drain plug at the bottom of the engine and completely drain the oil into an oil pan. 3. After draining, reinstall the drain plug. 4. Fill with the new oil up to the upper notch on the dipstick. Figure 5-21 Section 5 - Product Care 17
