SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
14
The following maintenance information covers basic engine service only.
For extensive service and repairs, we recommend contacting the authorized Cushman dealer nearest you.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Keep your engine clean.
If dirt has accumulated on the engine, it should be washed with a non--flammable solvent or strong detergent.
Proper maintenance will prolong the engine’s life and avoid premature overhaul.
When washing becomes necessary, it can be carried out simultaneously when servicing the vehicle.
In order to maintain reliable service from your engine, a regular check-up and maintenance schedule should be
followed.
ACCESS TO ENGINE
Never remove or install the engine cover while the engine is running. The engine cover is a machinery guard and
its removal exposes you to moving parts. Keep hands, hair and clothing away from flywheel, radiator cooling fan,
alternator fan, engine belts, pulleys and air intake.
For servicing the engine and related components, the engine cover can be tilted forward or removed.
SERVICE and MAINTENANCE
• When replacement parts are required, use genuine Cushman parts or parts with equivalent
characteristics including type, strength and material. Failure to do so may result in product mal-
function and possible injury to the operator and/or bystanders.
• Never attempt to perform service or maintenance functions on this vehicle if you are
UNTRAINED or UNAUTHORIZED. Improper maintenance can cause hazardous conditions. See
your authorized CUSHMAN dealer for necessary maintenance and service.
• Always replace any warning decal that becomes hard to read.
• To reduce risk of fire, always keep the engine free of excessive grease.
