marker in the test area and remove foot from pedal. The
vehicle should stop aggressively. The wheel brakes may
or may not lock. Observe the vehicle stopping location or
measure the vehicle stopping distance from the point at
which the brakes were latched. The vehicle should stop
within the ‘normal’ range of stopping distances. If the
vehicle stops more than 4 ft. (1.2 m) beyond the accept-
able stopping distance or pulls to one side, the vehicle
has failed the test and should be tested again.
If the vehicle fails the second test, it should immediately
be removed from service. The vehicle must be inspected
by a qualified mechanic who should refer to the TROU-
BLESHOOTING section in the Technicain’s Repair and
Service Manual.
REAR AXLE
The only maintenance required for the first five years is
the periodic inspection of the lubricant level. The rear
axle is provided with a lubricant level check/fill plug
located on the bottom of the differential (Ref Fig. 18 on
page 16) (Ref Fig. 19 on page 16). Unless leakage is evi-
dent, the lubricant need only be replaced after five years.
