Repair and Service Manual

OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.

Thank you for purchasing a Gas Powered Light Duty

Utility Vehicle. Before driving the vehicle, we ask you to

spend some time reading this Owner’s Manual and Ser-

vice Guide. This Guide contains the information that will

assist you in the safe operation of the vehicle. It will also

assist you in maintaining this highly reliable vehicle.

Some illustrations show items that may be optional for

your vehicle. This guide covers the operation of several

vehicles; therefore, some pictorial views may not repre-

sent your vehicle. Physical differences in controls will be

illustrated.

This vehicle has been designed and manufactured as a

‘World Vehicle’. Some countries have individual require-

ments to comply with their specifications; therefore,

some sections may not apply in your country.

Most of the service procedures in this guide can be

accomplished using common automotive hand tools.

Contact your service representative on servicing the

vehicle in accordance with the Periodic Service Sched-

ule.

Service Parts Manuals and Technician’s Repair and Ser-

vice Manuals are available from a local Distributor, an

authorized Branch or the Service Parts Department.

When ordering parts or requesting information for your

vehicle, provide vehicle model, serial number and manu-

facture code.

BEFORE INITIAL USE

Read, understand and follow the safety label on the

instrument panel. Be sure you understand how to oper-

ate the vehicle, its equipment and how to use it safely.

Maintaining good performance depends to a large

extent on the operator.

Improper use of this vehicle could result in

severe injury or death. The ST series are light

duty utility vehicles, NOT All Terrain Vehicles

(ATV’s).

This vehicle is not a toy and using it while

engaging in horseplay is dangerous.

Plan carefully before using the vehicle to go

significant distances over questionable terrain.

Remember that a one hour drive may take

many hours to walk out should you run out of

fuel or be stranded by becoming stuck on

unsuitable terrain.

Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of

the lead acid battery charging process. A 4%

concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive and

could cause severe injury or death. Charging

must take place in an area that is adequately

ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per

hour).

To reduce the chance of battery explosion that

could result in severe injury or death, never

smoke around or charge batteries in an area

that has open flame or electrical equipment

that could cause an electrical arc.

Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of bat-

teries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.

Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in

the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation.

Five air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum

requirement.

Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to

flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or

propane gas water heaters and furnaces.

Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items

shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be per-

formed (Ref. Fig. 1 on page 1)

Vehicle battery must be fully charged before initial use.

Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in

shipment from the factory.

Determine and record braking distance required to stop

vehicle for future brake performance tests.

Remove the protective clear plastic, that protect the seat

bottom and back rest during shipping, before placing the

vehicle in service.
