SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 7–5
A NOTE ON SAFETY
To avoid the possibility of injury from the
cooling fan, carry out all engine checks
with the ignition switched off so that the
fan is not operating.
The fan is controlled by ECM (electronic
control module) and consequently may
start to operate unexpectedly.
When the ignition is on, it is also highly dan-
gerous to touch live parts as the electronic
ignition system has a greater current igni-
tion power than conventional systems.
