•
Add a gasoline additive to the tank in accordance
with the manufacturer's recommendations.
•
Reattach fuel line to tank and drive the vehicle for

the carburetor.
•
While engine is still warm, change oil (Refer to
CHANGING THE OIL on page 18).
•
Clean body, chassis and engine of debris, mud,
chaff or grass (Refer to AIR INTAKE AND COOL-
ING FINS on page 23).

Owner's Manual and Service Guide
HARDWARE
Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref. Fig. 38 on page
25).
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the
Technician's Repair and Service Manual for specific
torque values.
Generally, three grades of hardware are used in the vehi-
cle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head and grade 8 hardware is
identified by 6 marks on the head. Unmarked hardware is
Grade 2 (Ref. Fig. 38 on page 25).
