SAFETY
Repair and Service Manual
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions and Warnings.
B
Always turn the key switch to ‘OFF’ and
remove the key before disconnecting a live
circuit.
When connecting battery cables, pay par-
ticular attention to the polarity of the battery
terminals. Never confuse the positive and
negative cables.
Set the parking ‘PARK’ brake before per-
forming any work on the vehicle.
If repairs are to be made that will require
welding or cutting, the battery and fuel tank
must be removed and the fuel system
drained.
To prevent explosion that could result in
severe personal injury or death, keep all smok-
ing materials, open flame or sparks away from
gasoline and batteries.
Never operate the starter with the spark
plugs removed unless the ignition system
has been disabled and the engine/exhaust
are cold. Fuel expelled from the cylinders
could be ignited by the ignition system or
the hot exhaust system.
Never work on an engine that is hot.
Never test the ignition system without either
connecting 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 SYSTEM
section).
Wrap wrenches with vinyl
tape to prevent the possi-
bility of a dropped wrench
from ‘shorting out’ a bat-
tery, which could result in
an explosion and severe personal injury or
death.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal pro-
tectant must be used with extreme care.
Insulate metal container to prevent can
from contacting battery terminals which
could result in an explosion.
To prevent illness or death, observe the follow-
ing:
Never work around or operate a vehicle in
an environment that does not ventilate
exhaust gases from the area.
Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) is deadly.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that is
formed as a natural part of the incomplete
combustion of hydrocarbon 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.
