8. IMPORTANT: MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
When working on or around a vehicle, the following general precau-
tions should be observed:
(1) Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brakes, and
always block the wheels.
(2) Stop the engine when working around the vehicle.
(3) Drain the air pressure from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work
on the vehicle.
(4) Following the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures,
deactivate the electrical system in a manner that removes all electrical
power from the vehicle.
(5) When working in the engine compartment the engine should be shut
off. Where circumstances require that the engine be in operation,
EXTREME CAUTION should be used to prevent personal injury
resulting from contact with moving, rotating, leaking, heated, or elec-
trically charged components.
(6) Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing pressure; it
may whip. Never remove a component or plug unless you are certain
all system pressure has been depleted.
(7) Never exceed recommended pressures and always wear safety
glasses.
(8) Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble, or assemble a compo-
nent until you have read and thoroughly understand the recom-
mended procedures. Use only the proper tools and observe all
precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
(9) Use only genuine Bendix replacement parts, components, and kits.
Replacement hardware, tubing, hose, fittings, etc. should be of equiv-
alent size, type, and strength as original equipment and be designed
specifically for such applications and systems.
(10) Components with stripped threads or damaged parts should be
replaced rather than repaired. Repairs requiring machining or welding
should not be attempted unless specifically approved and stated by
the vehicle or component manufacturer.
(11) Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all components
and systems are restored to their proper operating condition.
