MAINTENANCE
TIRES
Check the wear of the tires, especially after long
trips. The bearings are sealed, so no maintenance is
needed. Refer to VIN plate for tire inflation pressure.
LIGHTING CONNECTORS (FLAT 4)
Connections develop corrosion over time. We recommend keeping a thin layer of dielectric
grease on the connectors. (Disconnect power before doing this)
IF THERE IS CORROSION PRESENT
1.
Disconnect the electric connection from the vehicle to avoid shorting
2.
Carefully remove any corrosion with a scraping instrument
3.
Check that the wire plugs behind the lights are securely in place
4.
Reconnect the power and check that all lights are working properly
IF THE CONNECTORS COME LOOSE
1.
Clean the plug and light area, then press the plug firmly into place
2.
If necessary, apply hot-melt glue or similar adhesive along the edges
