The vehicle should stop within the 'normal' range of stopping distances. If the vehicle stops more than 4 ft.

AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS
To prevent possible burns, engine parts should be kept clean to reduce risk of overheating and
ignition of accumulated debris. After every off road use, allow to cool and then check for a build
up of dirt and debris in the air intake and cooling fins. Dirt and debris may clog the engine’s air
cooling system. Clean areas shown to prevent engine damage. Keep linkages, springs and con-
trols clean. Keep area around muffler free of any combustible material.
At least once a year, (or more often under adverse conditions) the cooling system should be cleaned. Cleaning will
assure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins. Compressed air may be used for routine cooling system mainte-
nance.
REAR AXLE
The rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check plug located on the driver side at the rear of the housing.

For vehicles with LSD axle, add 2 ounces of friction modifier during refill.
Clean the area around the check and fill plugs. Remove the check plug. The correct lubricant level is
just
