MAINTENANCE Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT Inside of Cowl Headlight Casing To reduce the possibility of premature bulb failure, do not touch new bulbs with bare fingers. Use clean, dry tissue or paper towel to handle the glass portion of the bulb. Screw Headlight Bulb For vehicles equipped with lights mounted in the cowl, locate bulb socket on backside of light and turn bulb socket a quarter turn counterclockwise to unlock and pull out bulb and socket. Insert new bulb and rotate socket a 5 quarter turn clockwise to secure. To replace the tail and brake light bulb, remove hardware securing lens and remove lens. Install replacement bulb, then secure the lens with the hardware. FUSE REPLACEMENT To replace fuses, locate the fuse block under the driver side seat. Pull out old fuse and replace with a new automotive type fuse. Headlight and taillight bulbs and fuses are available from a local Distributor, an authorized Branch or the Service Parts Department. VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from inadvertent motion, do not attempt to 'jump start' a vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator and does not idle. When starting the engine, the starter/generator functions as a starter and with the engine running, it functions as a generator. With the short running times associated with this kind of vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the battery charge level. The generator is not designed to charge a discharged battery. When engine starts, the clutches engage and cause vehicle to move making 'jump starting' both dangerous and impractical. If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less. Read and understand all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger. 5 - 10
