VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance by recognized Dealers,
together with the use of genuine parts and
accessories, is essential to the safe operation
and continuing reliability of your vehicle.
The maintenance requirements are set out on
pages 53-65 of this handbook. In addition, some
of the more simple service operations which can
be performed by any competent garage, are
covered in detail.
DAILY CHECKS
We recommend you check the following each
day:
● Lights
● Horn
● Warning lights
● Motion door lock operation
● Windscreen washer reservoir
● Mirrors
WEEKLY CHECKS
In addition to the items checked each day, we
recommend you check the following every week
or before any long journey:
● Engine oil level
● Check/top up brake and clutch fluid levels
● Check/top up cooling system
● Check/correct tyre pressures
● Check tightness of wheel nuts
● If not used daily; check operation of all
parts of the wheelchair access and
restraint system including all parts of the
wheelchair ramp
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The more complex requirements at each 10,000
miles (16,000 km) should be performed by
recognized Dealers, which are kept up to date
with the latest information issued by the
manufacturer.
This book contains (pages vii to xii) a series of
boxes which your Dealer will stamp to indicate
that the appropriate services have been
performed, in accordance with the
manufacturer's latest schedules.
Note: the manufacturer's recommended
maintenance items must always be
supplemented where necessary to comply with
any mandatory requirements in the country
where the vehicle is operated.
ADDITIONAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Some service operations are required on a
periodic basis and should be requested when
they become due. Additional boxes are included
to record brake fluid changes, replacements of
coolant, and service to the air conditioning
system (where fitted).
REWORKS
From time to time LTI Vehicles issues
instructions to Dealers to carry out a rework of
customers’ vehicles already operating in the
marketplace. Where carried out this will be done
to ensure future durability, reliability and safety.
Additional boxes are provided on later pages for
dealers to enter details of such reworks.
SERVICE RECORDS
You should keep all your maintenance records
(including original invoices etc.) as described
under Service History on page iii, since, in most
instances it will be necessary for you to show
that the vehicle has been correctly maintained at
the appropriate intervals.
When you dispose of the vehicle, these records
should be left in the vehicle and passed on to
the new owner. Warranty is transferable to a
new owner for the remainder of the original
period providing that the conditions stated in
this handbook have been fully complied with.
Note: Routine maintenance services should be
carried out within 500 miles (750 km) of the
distance specified. Latitudes of service intervals
may not be carried forward.
