GENERAL SERVICING GUIDELINES AND PRECAUTIONS
As with any machine, care should be taken to avoid being injured when
performing maintenance, repairs or system checks. Improper or
incomplete service could result in the vehicle not working properly
which, in turn, may result in personal injury or damage to the vehicle or
equipment. It is the operator’s responsibility to see that the vehicle
receives proper care and maintenance. If you have any questions about
performing some service, have the service done by a qualified technician.
Servicing guidelines
When servicing your vehicle, always:
•
turn off the ignition unless the particular procedure calls for the
engine to be running.
•
if the procedure requires the engine to be running, operate the engine
in a well-ventilated area
•
set the parking brake or chock the wheels.
•
use support stands, not a jack, whenever you must be under a raised
vehicle.
•
do not smoke.
•
wear safety glasses for eye protection.
•
do not work on the brakes unless the proper precautions are taken to
avoid inhaling friction material dust.
•
do not wear loose-fitting clothing, hanging jewelry, watches or rings.
•
avoid contact with hot metal parts. Allow the hot components to cool
before working with, or around them.
Quality service parts are available through your dealer. If dealer parts are
not used, the owner must make sure that the parts that are being used
are equivalent quality to dealer parts.
WARNING:
The use of inferior parts can adversely affect the
quality and reliability of your vehicle which, in turn, can result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
Note:
To avoid damage to the vehicle’s electrical components, disconnect
the positive (+) and negative (-) battery cables prior to electric welding.
Attach the welder ground cable as close as possible to the part being
welded. If it is necessary to weld close to an electrical component, it is
recommended that the electronic component be temporarily removed.
