FRONT SEATS

Front manual seat adjustment

Forward and backward:
Pull the lever*1 up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the lever to lock the seat in position.

To recline the seatback, pull the lever*2 up and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE” later in this section.) Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission in the P (Park) position.

Pull up or push down the adjusting lever to adjust the seat height until the desired position is achieved.

Car Wash Industry – New Investor’s Guide

Why invest in the car wash industry?

Owning a car wash can be a profitable investment for several factors. Here are a few reasons many invest in a car wash:

  • Relative autonomy – At a self-serve or automatic car wash, either the customer or equipment performs the labor, thereby eliminating the need for many employees. Generally, it only takes one or two workers to maintain and clean a site throughout busier parts of the day to keep the operation running smoothly.
  • Easy to manage – from an operator’s standpoint, a car wash is relatively easy to run in that there are few personnel issues, minimal product inventories, and few maintenance requirements. Additionally, cash flow is not a problem in that there are no accounts receivable or personal checks.
  • Low cost – A car wash has low direct operating costs, and fixed costs, such as insurance and bookkeeping, are minimal.

How To Run A Successful Car Wash Fundraiser

As with any project, the amount of preparation one does will directly affect its outcome. Preparation is the key to a successful and unforgettable car wash fundraising event. This chapter will discuss the first steps you need to take to ensure your eventÕs success.

ORGANIZING YOUR CAR WASH

First, you need to meet with your members and gain their approval to hold a car wash fundraising event.

Chances are you already have synergy in your group. You need to harness this synergy to make an effective team. If you already have a support structure in place, this will help tremendously.

The following pages include a number of assignments necessary to have a successful fundraiser.

CAR WASH FUNDRAISER COMMITTEE

Establishing a car wash fundraiser committee is your first step. Here are the committee member assignments:

  • Event Supervisor
  • Publicity Coordinator
  • Event Location Coordinator

Hydraulic Fluid Care Guide

Why is fluid care important?

High-performance servohydraulic systems require very clean oil to maximize performance and extend the life of system components.

While less sophisticated hydraulic systems may function acceptably with lower levels of oil cleanliness, high-performance servohydraulic equipment will “silt up” and perform erratically when subjected to particulate levels that are greater than an ISO 4406 rating of 16/13/9. Servovalves must operate smoothly and predictably to deliver the tightly regulated pressures and fluid flow for which they are designed.

How can hydraulic system life be maximized?

Regular monitoring and maintenance of the hydraulic fluid promotes the maximum operating performance and service life of the servohydraulic system and its components. Two specific items must be checked regularly—contaminants in the fluid and the fluid’s chemical makeup.
