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.
Ensure that no fuel vapors are present that
could be ignited by the test spark.
Never test the function of a fuel pump in
the vicinity of a hot engine or other source
of flame or combustion.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to prevent
the possibility of a dropped wrench from
‘shorting out’ a battery, 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 following:
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
