23 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
23.1 Maintenance Tips and Precautions
Observe the following tips and precautions when performing main-
tenance on the ROXOR.
l Always wear eye protection and gloves.
l Stay clear of rotating parts when engine is running.
l Stay clear of hot parts, before during and after maintenance.
l Avoid repeated contact with fluids.
l Do not allow fuel, coolant and other fluids to spill over electrical
and hot parts.
l Before removing parts for maintenance, it is best to clean the
outer surface of the parts being replaced.
l Care must be taken when handling the air intake system com-
ponents. Never lift by using their hoses or pipes.
l Ensure that hoses and lines are oriented in their correct position
before tightening the clamps.
l Hoses and lines must not be subjected to any twists or stress.
l Ensure that all clips and supports are replaced.
l Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains car-
bon monoxide which can cause loss of consciousness or death
in a very short time.
l Check to make sure the engine is off and parking brake set
before jacking up the vehicle.
l Never go under the vehicle while it is inclined without proper bra-
cing (approved jack stands).
