OWNER’S/OPERATOR’S MANUAL 20.0
16. MAINTENANCE
16- 1
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the
emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized
dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle.
We also recommends LINHAI parts for emissions-related service,
however equivalent parts can be used.
It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an
aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’
s emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by
federal law.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance
identified in this owner’s manual.
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest,
most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of
important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When
inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine parts are
available from your dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for
emissions-related service.
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If
you’re not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a
qualified dealer can perform these operations.
Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected
and serviced more frequently.
SEVERE USE DEFINITION
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Frequent or prolonged operation in dusty environments
• Short trip cold weather operation
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold
weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or
crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor
the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine
the cause. Your dealer can assist.
