Never work on an engine that is hot.
Never work around or operate a vehicle in an environ­
ment that does not ventilate exhaust gases from the

Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) is deadly.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that is formed as
a natural part of the incomplete combustion of hydro­
carbon fuels. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas
that can cause unconsciousness and is potentially
lethal.
The following are symptoms of carbon monoxide
inhalation:
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Intense headache
•
Muscular twitching
•
Weakness and sleepiness
• Throbbing in temples
If experiencing any of these symptoms, get fresh air
immediately.
Never test the ignition system without either connect­
ing the spark plug lead to a tester or spare grounded
spark plug.
If the spark function is to be observed at the spark
plug, be sure to 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.
Never confuse the hoses to and from the fuel pump.
Verify that the carburetor and pulse lines are correctly
installed before starting the engine (see FUEL SYS­
TEM section).

the bolt from the battery hold down and remove the bat­

cially available terminal protectant.

Aerosol containers of
battery terminal pro­
tectant must be used
with extreme care. Insulate the metal container to pre­
vent the metal can from contacting battery terminals
