SAFETY
NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS AND DANGERS
The following symbols appear throughout this manual and on your vehicle. Your safety is involved when these symbols are used. Become familiar with their meanings before reading the manual.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situa­tion that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
In any product, components will eventually fail to perform properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or abuse.
It is impossible to anticipate all possible component fail­ures or the manner in which each component may fail.
Be aware that a vehicle requiring repair indicates that the vehicle is no longer functioning as designed and there­fore should be considered potentially hazardous. Use extreme care when working on any vehicle. When diag­nosing, removing or replacing any components that are not operating correctly, take the time to consider the safety ramifications if the component should move unex­pectedly.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly cor­rosive, explosive or may produce high amperage or reach high temperatures. Exposure to battery acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious bodily injury to the technician/mechanic and bystanders if not treated with utmost caution. Be careful not to place hands, face, feet or body in a location that could expose them to injury should an unexpected situation occur.
Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and wear approved safety equipment.
MODIFICATIONS TO VEHICLE
Do not modify the vehicle in any manner that will change the weight distribution of the vehicle.
Changes to the weight distribution or the center of gravity may make
the vehicle unstable or prone to rollover which could result in injury or death to the operator or passengers.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To prevent severe injury or death
resulting from improper servicing
techniques, do not attempt any type of servicing operations before reading and understanding all notices, cautions and warnings in this manual.
When maintenance procedures or inspection are per­formed, ensure the safety of the technician/mechanic or bystanders, and to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Always read and understand the entire relevant manual section (chapter) before attempting any inspection or service.
BEFORE SERVICING THE VEHICLE
Before inspecting or servicing a vehicle, read and under­stand the following warnings:
Before working on the vehicle,
remove all jewelry.
Make sure that clothing or hair cannot become caught in the moving parts of the powertrain.
Do not contact hot objects.
Before attempting to operate or adjust the power­train, the vehicle must be raised and supported on jack stands.
Wear OSHA approved clothing and eye protection when working on anything that could expose the body or eyes to potential injury. In particular, use care when working with or around batteries, com­pressed air or solvents.
668061
Always turn the key switch to OFF and remove the key before disconnecting a live circuit.
When connecting battery cables, pay particular attention to the polarity of the battery terminals. Never confuse the positive and negative cables.

must be allowed to rotate or service is being per­formed on the brake system.
If repairs are to be made that will require welding or
B
cutting, the battery and fuel tank must be removed and the fuel system drained.
To prevent an explosion that could result in severe injury or death, keep all smoking materials, open flame or sparks away from gasoline and battery.
Never operate the starter with the spark plugs removed unless the ignition system has been dis­abled and the engine/exhaust are cold. Fuel expelled from the cylinders can ignite by the igni­tion system or the hot exhaust system.
Never work on a hot engine.
Never test the ignition system without either con­necting the spark plug lead to a tester or a spare grounded spark plug.
If the spark function is to be observed at the spark plug, install a spare spark plug into the open cylin­der before operating the starter.
Never test the function of a fuel pump in the vicinity of a hot engine or other source of flame or combus­tion.
Verify that the fuel lines are correctly installed before starting the engine. See the FUEL SYSTEM section.
Be sure that the key switch is off and all electrical accessories are turned off before working on vehi­cle.
ing with clear water. Contact a physician immedi­ately.
Wear eye protection when working on the vehicle. In particular, be care­ful when working around batteries, or using solvents or compressed air.
Electrolyte spills must be neutralized with a solution of 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liters) of water and then flushed with water.
Use insulated wrenches to prevent the possibility of a dropped wrench from shorting out a battery, which could result in an explosion and severe per­sonal injury or death.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate metal con­tainer to prevent can from contacting battery termi­nals which could result in an explosion.
Never work around or operate a vehicle in an envi­ronment that does not ventilate exhaust gases from the area.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that is formed as a natural part of the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Carbon monoxide is a danger­ous gas that can cause unconsciousness and is potentially lethal.
The following are symptoms of carbon monoxide inhalation:
Dizziness
The battery should always be removed before any servicing or repairs that could generate sparks.
Never disconnect a circuit under load at a battery terminal.
Batteries are heavy. Use proper lifting techniques when moving them. Always lift the battery with a commercially available battery lifting device. Use care not to tip the battery when removing or installing; spilled electrolyte can cause
burns and damage.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes by flush-
Vomiting
Intense headache
Muscular twitching
Weakness and sleepiness
Throbbing in temples
If experiencing any of these symptoms, get fresh air immediately.

BODY
GENERAL
NOTICE: Hardware that is removed must always be installed in its original position unless otherwise specified. See HARDWARE on page ix.
Body components can be replaced with a minimum of special tools. Most body components are held in position with removable plastic rivets and standard hardware.

Painting

Follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for specific painting procedures and information.
All painting must be done in an area with adequate ventilation to safely disperse harmful vapors.
Wear eye protection and respirator, following man­ufacturer’s instructions, to protect from over spray and airborne mist.
NOTICE: Provide protection from over spray to vehi-
cle and surrounding area.

Repairing Scratches

To repair minor scratches, the following steps must be taken:

1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be repaired with alcohol and allow to dry.

2. Use a brush to apply a minimum of two coats of touch up paint to the damaged area. Allow 30 - 45 minutes between coats; increase to 45 - 60 minutes in higher humidity. The painted area must be slightly higher than the surface of the part.

3. Use 400 grit “wet” sand paper to blend painted area level with the rest of the part being repaired.

4. Use a polishing compound (3M Finesse or automo­tive grade) to renew gloss and to further blend and transition newly painted surface.

5. Clean with alcohol and allow to dry.

6. Optional but recommended; Apply clear coat to renew and protect depth of finish.

7. Wax or polish with a Carnauba base product, avail­able at any automotive parts distributor. Do not wax flat finishes.
To repair large scratches, the following steps must be taken:

1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be repaired with alcohol, and allow to dry.

2. Apply tape to the area surrounding the damaged area to prevent over spray of paint.

3. Shake the aerosol paint a minimum of one minute to mix thoroughly and achieve the best color match.

4. Apply paint in light even overlapping strokes. Multi­ple coats can be applied to provide adequate cover­age and finish.

5. Allow paint to dry overnight.

6. Use 400 grit “wet” sand paper to blend painted area level with the surface of the part being repaired.

7. Use a polishing compound (3M Finesse or automo­tive grade) to renew gloss and to further blend and transition newly painted surface.

8. Clean with alcohol, and allow to dry.

9. Optional but recommended; Apply clear coat to renew and protect depth of finish.

10. Wax or polish with Carnauba base product, avail­able at any automotive parts distributor. Do not wax flat finishes.

Complete Panel Repair

If large panels or areas must be painted, touch up paint is not recommended. In such cases, professional paint­ing or panel replacement is necessary. Body panel replacement is sometimes more cost effective than paint­ing. Painting can be done by any body panel repair shop with experience in painting thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) panels. TPE is a common material in modern automobile body panels, and all body panel repair shops should be familiar with the materials and processes required.
The finish will include an application of a primer coat, a base color coat, and a clear coat.

MAINTENANCE

Daily Brake Performance Test

B
NOTICE: To ensure correct braking performance, all periodic maintenance, inspections and procedures must be performed. See SCHEDULED MAINTE­NANCE CHART on page 166. A Daily Brake Perfor­mance Test must be performed, and the entire brake system must be serviced in accordance with the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHART.
The brake system must be bled whenever any part of the brake system has been replaced.
The STAMPEDE 900 has front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. Perform scheduled maintenance on the brake system at the intervals indicated in the Scheduled Mainte­nance Chart.
Check the brake fluid level before each operation. Test the brakes for function before each use.
Press the brake pedal. The pedal should have some ini­tial free play, and then become resistant. This indicates proper performance.
If the brake pedal has a soft feel or loses resistance, per­form a brake system inspection.

Brake System Inspection

1. Check brake fluid level.

2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.

3. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel.

4. Check the brake calipers for looseness.

5. Check the brake pads for wear or damage. Replace the brake pads if worn to 3/64 inch (1 mm) or less (Ref. Fig. 2).

Never apply WD-40 or any petro­leum product to the brake discs.
These products are flammable and can also reduce the friction between the brake pad and caliper and increase the possibility of an acci­dent that can result in severe injury or death.
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the brake pads. If the brake pads become wet with hydraulic fluid, wipe the brake pads and rotor until they are dry.
Complete brake failure usually indicates a loss of hydrau­lic fluid pressure.
If the brake pedal has a soft feel, bleed the brakes to remove air from the brake system.
A brake pedal that loses resistance indicates a leak in the hydraulic system:
1. Check brake fluid level. If the fluid is low, inspect the
system for leaks.
a. Check for leaks by applying pressure to the
pedal gradually and steadily.
b. If pedal sinks very slowly to the floor, the system
has a leak along the brake lines or at the hydrau­lic cylinder. If no external leaks are apparent, the problem is likely inside the master cylinder.
3. If leaks are found, repair the leaks in the brake sys-
tem, or repair or replace the master cylinder.
4. Bleed the brakes to remove air from the brake sys-
tem.
NOTICE: Do not allow brake fluid to contact painted surfaces.

Brake Fluid

When adding or changing brake
fluid, always use brake fluid from an
unopened bottle. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard the unused por­tion. Do not store, or use from an opened bottle. Brake fluid rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop. This can lead to premature brake fade and the possibility of an accident that can result in severe injury or death.
3/64 inch (1 mm)

6. Check the brake rotors for cracks, corrosion, warping or other damage.
7. Clean any grease found on the brake discs with an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.

hone. If corrosion or deposits are detected on the master cylinder, replace it with a new one.

Fig. 3 Check Brake Fluid Level

In addition to the scheduled maintenance interval for changing the brake fluid, the brake fluid must also be changed in the following conditions:
the fluid becomes contaminated
the fluid level falls BELOW the MIN mark
the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (Ref. Fig.
3). The fluid level should be between the upper MAX and lower MIN lines.
3. If the level is below the upper MAX line, add brake fluid:
a. Clean any dirt and debris from around the reser-
voir cap and remove the cap.
b. Add brake fluid until it reaches the upper MAX
line.
c. Reinstall the cap.
d. Clean any spilled brake fluid from the area.
e. Dispose of the unused portion of the brake fluid.
6. Press and hold the brake pedal fully down for a few seconds.
7. Check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

MASTER CYLINDER
The master cylinder is mounted to the frame, under the cowl on the driver side of the vehicle. The master cylinder will eventually require replacement due to deterioration of the cylinder seals (cups). Fluid will leak past the cups and show as an external leak. A common symptom is a soft brake pedal, meaning that it goes all the way to the floor. The rubber parts wear with use, or deteriorate with age or fluid contamination. Corrosion or deposits formed in the cylinder bore, due to moisture or dirt in the hydraulic sys­tem may cause wear of the cylinder bore or related parts. Do not try to remove corrosion or deposits with a cylinder

Brake Caliper

Figure 8 Bleeder Valve

Bleed at each caliper in the following succession:
1. Passenger side rear wheel
2. Driver side rear wheel
3. Passenger side front wheel
4. Driver side front wheel caliper.
Never use excess brake fluid or return it to the original container. Dispose of brake fluid properly.

Bleeding

The brake hydraulic system must be free of air to function properly.
The brake pedal and master cylinder acts as a hydraulic pump to remove air and brake fluid from the system.
Bleed the hydraulic system at all wheels if:
The primary brake line was disconnected from the flexible brake hose.
Air was introduced into the system through low fluid level in master cylinder reservoir.
If a line or hose was disconnected at any fitting located between the master cylinder and calipers, all wheel cali­pers served by the disconnected line or hose must be bled.
NOTICE: An assistant is necessary to perform this procedure.
Use a clean cloth to clean the master cylinder reservoir and caliper bleeder valves. Clean each fitting before opening to prevent contamination of the system.
Fill the master cylinder reservoir to MAX line with new brake fluid before starting, and after bleeding is complete.
Check the master cylinder fluid level frequently during bleeding and keep the reservoirs at least half full.
The following steps apply to one bleeder valve. Repeat at the bleeder valve of each wheel.
1. Attach a bleeder hose to the bleeder valve (Ref. Fig­ure 8). Put the other end of the hose in a glass con­tainer partially filled with brake fluid.
NOTICE: Be sure that the free end of the hose is submerged in brake fluid. This shows air bubbles as they come out of the system, and prevents air from being sucked into the system through the bleeder screw.

BRAKES
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
2. Apply moderate (40 - 50 lbs. [18 - 23 kg]), steady pressure on the brake pedal, and open the bleeder valve.
Do not force the brake pedal to the floor. The operating rod can be forced into the master cylinder
where it can damage internal components.
3. If the brake pedal goes to the floorboard without removing all of the air bubbles, close the bleeder valve and release the brake pedal slowly. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOTICE: The bleeder valve at the brake caliper must be closed at the end of each stroke, and before the brake pedal is released to ensure that air cannot enter the system. It is also important that the brake pedal be returned to the full released position.
4. When fluid coming from the submerged end of the hose is clear and free of bubbles, close the bleeder valve and release the brake pedal. Tighten the bleeder valve to the maximum torque value specified below.

1. To center the steering unit in the middle of its travel, turn the steering wheel to the left until the it contacts the steering stop.

2. Rotate the wheel to the right while counting the num­ber of turns required to contact the right steering stop. Divide the number of turns by two. This indi­cates the number of steering wheel turns required to achieve center.
Roll the vehicle forward 10 feet (3 meters). Measure the center tread distance at the front of the tires (Ref. Fig.
33). Measure as close to parallel with the front lower
frame of the vehicle as possible.
