EVU00410Engine oilMake sure the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-9.)NOTICE●
In order to prevent clutch slippage
(since the engine oil also lubricates
the clutch), do not mix any chemical
additives with oil. Do not use oils with
a diesel specification of “CD” or oils
of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
EVU00420CoolantCheck the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold (the coolant level
will vary with engine temperature).
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between
the minimum and maximum level marks on
the coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is at
or below the minimum level mark, add addi-
tional coolant to bring the level up to maxi-
mum level mark. If coolant is not available,
add distilled water. Change the coolant every
two years. (See page 8-20 for details.)NOTICEHard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water.
Recommended engine oil type and
quantity: See page 10-1.
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):0.28 L (0.30 US qt, 0.25 Imp.qt)

If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, keep your body completely inside the pro-
tective structure of the vehicle:●
Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly
on the floorboards and keep a firm grip on
the steering wheel or passenger handhold.
●
Do not put your hands or feet outside of the
vehicle for any reason. Do not try to stop a
tipover using your arm or leg.Accelerating
With the engine idling in neutral and your foot
on the brake, shift the drive select lever into
low or high.
NOTICE: Do not shift from low
to high or vice versa without coming to a
complete stop and waiting for the engine
to return to normal idle speed – damage to
the engine or drive train may occur. Then
release the parking brake. Press the accel-
erator pedal slowly and smoothly. The centrif-
ugal clutch will engage and the vehicle will
begin to accelerate.
Avoid higher speeds and sudden or hard ac-
celeration until you are thoroughly familiar
with the operation of your vehicle. Avoid sud-
den or hard acceleration in any turn.

leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn
the engine off and check for the cause. 13. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 min-
utes, and then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.
14. Install the right rear panel by installing the bolts and the quick fastener screws.
