The maintenance itemslistedhereshould be
checked periodically (forexample, eachtimeyou
check theengine oilorrefuel) .
Battery*: Checkthefluid level ineach cell.
It should bebetween theMAX andMIN lines.
V ehicles operated inhigh temperatures orunder
severe condition requirefrequent checksofthe
battery fluidlevel.
NO TE:
Care should betaken toavoid situations
that canlead topotential batterydischarge
and potential no-startconditions suchas:
1. Installation orextended useofelectro-
nic accessories thatconsume battery
power whentheengine isnot running
(Phone chargers, GPS,DVDplayers,
etc .)
2. Vehicle isnot driven regularly and/or
only driven shortdistances. In
these cases, thebattery mayneed tobe
charged tomaintain batteryhealth.
Brake andclutch fluidlevel*: Makesurethat
the brake andclutch fluidlevel isbetween the
MAX andMIN lines onthe reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:Checkthecoolant level
when theengine iscold.
Engine drivebelt*: Makesurethatthedrive
belt isnot frayed, worn,cracked oroily .
Engine oillevel*: Checkthelevel afterparking
the vehicle onalevel surface andturning offthe
engine. Wait more than10minutes forthe oilto
