WARNING
Risk of fire.
Keep fuel and other flammable sub-
stances away from the electrical com-
ponents.
Before beginning any maintenance op-
eration or any inspection of the vehicle,
stop the engine, extract the key from
the ignition block, wait until the engine
and the exhaust system have cooled
down and if possible lift the vehicle by
means of the proper equipment, on firm
and flat ground.
Before proceeding, make sure that the
room in which you are working is prop-
erly ventilated.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the
engine and of the exhaust system, in or-
der to avoid burns.
Do not hold any mechanical piece or
other parts of the vehicle with your
mouth: the components are not edible
and some of them are noxious or even
toxic.
