MAINTENANCE Safety During Service Procedures WARNING Failure to follow recommended precautions and procedures could result in severe injury or death. Always heed all safety precautions and follow all operation, inspection and maintenance procedures outlined in this manual. • Improperly installed or adjusted components can result in a system failure. If you do not have the time, tools and expertise necessary to complete a procedure properly, please see your dealer for service. • Review the safety-related maintenance information on page 13. • Before beginning any maintenance procedure, read the instructions for the entire procedure. • Always position the vehicle on a firm level surface before performing service. • Wear eye and face protection when using pressurized air. • Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time. • During some procedures you may use potentially hazardous products such as oil or brake fluid. Always follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging. Elevating the Vehicle for Service WARNING! Serious injury or death can occur if the vehicle moves or falls while elevated. When elevating is necessary, make sure the vehicle is properly elevated and stable before performing service. Some procedures require elevating the vehicle. DO NOT attempt to elevate your vehicle without proper equipment. If you're not familiar with using floor jacks or lift mechanisms, see your dealer for service. To elevate the SLINGSHOT vehicle, use automotive-quality floor jacks. Use the floor jacks on a firm, flat surface. Make sure the floor jacks are positioned under the frame rails in the front where the lower control arm mounts to the frame, or in the rear where the frame rails meet. For fluid changes, always make sure the elevated vehicle is level. Bottom View of Lift Points Side View of Lift Points 49
