Lifting The Vehicle - Textron E-Z-GO FREEDOM 2002 Manuel D'exploitation Et D'entretien

OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Clean windshield with lots of water and a clean cloth. Minor
scratches may be removed using a commercial plastic
®
polish or Plexus plastic cleaner available from the service
parts department.
Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim
requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a
sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require the
use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing with
lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is required to
preserve the painted surfaces.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive products
designed for 'clear coat' automotive finishes will enhance
the appearance and durability of the painted surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control can
collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These materials will
cause corrosion of underbody parts unless flushed
occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean any areas
where mud or other debris can collect. Sediment packed in
closed areas should be loosened to ease it's removal, taking
care not to chip or otherwise damage paint.
If the engine does not start or runs improperly
after washing, remove the spark plug wires (by
pulling the spark plug boots, never the wires). Dry all
connections with forced air. Reinstall the wires.
