needed. Replace any cables that have high effort or
excessive wear.

Transfer Case (All-Wheel Drive) Inspection
Every 12 months or at oil change intervals, check front
axle and transfer case and
add lubricant when necessary.
Oil the control lever pivot point and
all exposed control
linkage. Check vent hose at transfer case
for kinks and
proper installation.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts,

result
in frequent braking.
