Safety During Service Procedures
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.
