FRAME CLEANING
NOTE :
For aluminum frames use only alu-
minum cleaner and follow instructions on
container. (Dursol cleaner or equivalent).
Clean frame and tunnel with appropriate cleaners
and rinse with high pressure hose.
Touch up all metal spots where paint has been
scratched off. Spray all bare metal parts of vehicle
with metal protector.
Seat Cleaning
For all models, it is recommend to clean the seat
with a solution of
warm soapy water
, using a soft
clean cloth.
CAUTION : Avoid use of harsh detergents
such as strong soaps, degreasing sol-
vents, abrasive cleaners, paint thinners, etc.
that may cause damage to the seat cover.
FRAME WELDING
Steel Frame :
– electric welding
– amperage : 70-110 A
– voltage : 20-24 V
– rod : E-7014 (3/32 in)
Aluminum Frame : (refer to specialized
welding shop)
– argon-oxygen / acetylene welding
– rod : ER-4043 (3/32 in)
CAUTION : Before performing electrical
welding anywhere on the vehicle, unplug
the multiple connector at the electronic box.
On models equipped with a battery, also un-
plug the negative cable. This will protect the
electronic box and battery against damage
caused by flowing current when welding.
TYPICAL
1. Unplug before electrical welding
CAUTION : If welding is to be done near
plastic material, it is recommended to ei-
ther remove the part from the area or to pro-
tect it with aluminum foil to prevent damage.

Drilling Procedure
When drilling self-piercing rivets, use Supertaniumâ„¢
drill bit (P / N 529 0318 00), available in a 5 mm (3/16
in) size and shipped in packs of 2.
For proper drilling instructions and to prevent pre-
mature wear, follow the procedure below.
Always use a variable speed electric drill.
It is not necessary to center punch the rivet head,
simply center the drill bit on the rivet and drill.
Maintain a slow to medium speed at all times
when drilling. The proper speed is attained when
a constant chip is ejected.
NOTE :
To increase bit life, use Bombardier
synthetic chaincase oil (P / N 413 8033 00)
as a cutting oil.
CAUTION : High speed drilling will cause
excessive heat which may destroy the cut-
ting edge of the bit, therefore avoid using
pneumatic drills.
