Introduction
•
Always use blocks or proper
stands to support the vehicle
or vehicle components before
performing any service work.
Do not work on anything that is
supported only by lifting jacks or
a hoist.
•
Before removing or disconnecting
any lines, fittings, or related items,
relieve all pressure in the air, oil,
fuel, and cooling systems. Remain
alert for possible pressure when
disconnecting any device from a
system that contains pressure.
High pressure oil or fuel can cause
death or personal injury.
•
Always wear protective clothing
when working on any refrigerant
lines and make sure that the
workplace is in a well ventilated
area. Inhalation of fumes can
cause death or personal injury.
To protect the environment,
liquid refrigerant systems must
be properly emptied and filled
using equipment that prevents
the release of refrigerant gas.
Federal law requires capturing
and recycling refrigerant.

assistance. Ensure all lifting
devices such as chains, hooks, or
slings are in good condition and
are of the correct load capacity.

positioned correctly.

Corrosion inhibitors and lubricating
oils may contain alkali. Do not get
the substance in eyes and avoid
prolonged or repeated contact
with skin. Do not swallow. In
case of contact, immediately wash
skin with soap and water. In case
of harmful contact, immediately
contact a physician. Always keep
any chemicals OUT OF REACH

When working on the vehicle,
be alert for hot parts on systems
that have just been turned off,
exhaust gas flow, and hot fluids in
lines, tubes, and compartments.
Contact with any hot surface may
cause burns.

Always use tools that are in good
condition. Make sure you have
