Safety Maintenance

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Perform all periodic maintenance at the recommended intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance section beginning on Maintenance Chart Key. Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log on Maintenance Log.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine SLINGSHOT parts are available from your SLINGSHOT dealer.

NOTE

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have your authorized dealer or another qualified person perform these operations.

Before each ride, perform the steps outlined in the Pre-Ride Inspections chapter.
Always maintain proper tire pressure, tread condition and wheel and tire balance. Inspect tires regularly and replace worn or damaged tires promptly. Use only SLINGSHOT-approved replacement tires.
Fasteners must meet original specifications for quality, finish and type to ensure safety. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine SLINGSHOT parts available from your SLINGSHOT dealer. Ensure that all fasteners are tightened to the proper torque.
