Operation and Service Information
Before driving the vehicle, we ask you to spend some time reading this material. This guide contains information
that will assist you in maintaining this highly reliable vehicle. Some references may apply to items that are optional
or not available for your vehicle. This guide covers the operation of several models, therefore, some information
may not apply to or may not represent your vehicle. Physical differences in controls may apply.
Most of the service procedures in this guide can be accomplished using common automotive hand tools. Contact
your service representative at EMC to service the vehicle in accordance with the periodic Service Schedule.
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Read this material completely and be sure you understand how to operate the vehicle, its equipment and how to
use it safely. Maintaining good performance depends to a large extent on the operator.
