and components before starting a job. Dirty and greasy
areas can create a work hazard.
Proper Servicing
Light your working area properly, adequately and safely.

Make-shift tools and procedures can create safety
hazards. Use only the proper equipment and procedures.

fasteners, not to tighten the treaded parts.
Use only imperial tools with imperial fasteners and metric
tools with metric fasteners.
Proper Support of Vehicle
Never support the vehicle on aerated cement blocks,
hollow tiles or supports that can bend or crumble.
Never work under a vehicle that is only supported by a
jack. Use axle stands and wheel chocks.

damage.
Follow the procedures recommended in the appropriate
manual for removal and installation of vehicular
