SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A
DANGER
SCALD HAZARD!
• NEVER remove the radiator cap if the
engine is hot. Steam and hot engine
coolant will spurt out and seriously
burn you. Allow the engine to cool
down before you attempt to remove
the radiator cap.
• Tighten the radiator cap securely after
you check the radiator. Steam can
spurt out during engine operation if
the cap is loose.
• ALWAYS check the level of the engine
coolant by observing the reserve tank.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

A
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Keep the area around the battery
well-ventilated. While the engine is
running or the battery is charging,
hydrogen gas is produced which can
be easily ignited.
• Keep sparks, open flame and any other
form of ignition away while the engine
is running or battery is charging.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• When you remove any fuel system
component to perform maintenance
(such as changing the fuel filter) place
an approved container under the
opening to catch the fuel.
• NEVER use a shop rag to catch the
fuel. Vapors from the rag are
flammable and explosive.
• Wipe up any spills immediately.
• Wear eye protection. The fuel system
is under pressure and fuel could spray
out when you remove any fuel system
component.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
