BRAKES
Precautions
Before servicing the brake system, please be sure to read all of the following precautions,
which deal with personal safety, prevention of component damage and important points to
take into consideration when servicing the brake system.
Brake pads or shoes may contain asbestos, which has been determined to be a
cancer causing agent. Never clean brake components with compressed air. Avoid
inhaling brake dust. When cleaning brake surfaces, use a commercially available
brake cleaning fluid.
Protect eyes and skin from contact with brake fluid. Rinse eyes with water and
wash skin with soap and water if contaminated with brake fluid.
Protect the painted surfaces on the vehicle from brake fluid. Brake fluid may
damage the paint. Rinse brake fluid off of painted surfaces immediately.
Apply the brake pedal several times to make sure it does not go to the floor after
performing any service to the brake system before moving the vehicle.
Always use clean brake fluid from a sealed container to ensure the safe and proper
operation of the brake system.
Never reuse brake fluid. Used brake fluid should be discarded.
Always wear safety goggles or some type of eye/face protection when working
with, around or under a vehicle.
Be extremely careful while working on an operating engine, make sure you have no
dangling jewelry, extremely loose clothes, power tool cords or other items that
could get caught in any moving engine part.
Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when the engine is hot;
serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant.
Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around fuel. Whenever
servicing the fuel system, always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow fuel
spray or vapors to come in contact with a spark, open flame, or excessive heat (a
hot drop light, for example). Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the work
area. Always keep fuel in a container specifically designed for fuel storage; also,
always properly seal fuel containers to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion.
Refer to the additional fuel system precautions later in this section.
Fuel injection systems often remain pressurized, even after the engine has been
turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any
fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury.
The EPA warns that prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause a number
of skin disorders, including cancer! You should make every effort to minimize your
exposure to used engine oil. Protective gloves should be worn when changing oil.
Wash your hands and any other exposed skin areas as soon as possible after
exposure to used engine oil. Soap and water, or waterless hand cleaner should be
used.
Never operate the engine without the proper amount and type of engine oil; doing
so WILL result in severe engine damage.
Disconnecting the negative battery cable on some vehicles may interfere with the
functions of the on-board computer system(s) and may require the computer to
undergo a relearning process once the negative battery cable is reconnected.
