I think Tuesday I might be able to pick up my new Pioneer 4 (red). I will check the fluids but what else should I double check before running it?

When you take delivery, look at entire machine. The rear receiver area has been know to be thin on finish. Roll bars, including mine have had big chunks out of the coating. Make sure everything meets your satisfaction.

If you want to double check everything after you take delivery. Oil is a great place. Tire pressures, brake function. All good things to check before your first ride.

If the dealer does his job it should be all ready to go.

Thanks Moose. I am so excited, and I keep reading this forum up and down while I wait.

also the brakes turn tires both all the way left and right and make sure they aren't spongy isn't that the topic the other day moose?

 

[Moose]

Only if they install the Universal A arm guards Skorp. I only know of a few brake issues not related to those guards clearance with the caliper and or plastic cover.

i haven't had any issues with the plastic guards but i also bled my brakes the first day i had it. so that eliminated the air possibility

good thing to consider doing

I would get a small can of fluid film and spray it in the frame tubes next to the hitch.

Other than that fill it up and ride the heck out of it.

I had to google "fluid film" to find out it is a rust preventative. I have never heard of that one.

I saw someone post that their hose clamps were loose on the cooling system. Might want to check that. Should be easy...the clamp will be sunk into the hose a bit if tight.

Also, my glovebox door was nowhere near fitting right. Warped as ****! Waiting for the dealer to warranty it.

also mine and blakes steering wheel isn't straight its just the steering wheel itself. might check that when you first get there so they can fix if its not right while you finish the paperwork

I've driven 3 Pioneers. None of them had straight steering wheels, including mine.

Yeah it is good stuff.

On the forums for my truck some of the guys get the kit and spray the whole underside of the truck before winter.

And it smells good

iv never heard of it either might be something for me to look into
