Engine Parts

WARNING

Hot engine. Keep yourself clear of all hot engine parts and/or fluids. A hot engine and/or
fluid can cause serious burns.

WARNING

DO NOT raise the engine hood if you see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the
engine compartment. Wait until steam or coolant cannot be seen or heard any longer
before raising the hood.
DO NOT remove the coolant fill cap if the coolant in the surge tank is boiling. Also,
do not remove the cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pressure if the cap is taken off too soon, which can cause
personal injury and damage to engine components.

W0001525

DO NOT touch any part of the engine while it is hot. Allow the engine to cool before any
repair or maintenance is performed on the engine.

Relieve all pressure in air, oil, fuel or cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related
items are disconnected or removed.
