SAFETY INFORMATION
Page viii
• Use extreme caution in areas where pedestrians are present.
MAINTENANCE
Always:
• Maintain the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s periodic service schedule.
• Ensure that repairs are performed by those that are trained and qualified to do so.
• Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance procedures for the vehicle. Be sure to disable the vehicle before performing
any maintenance. Disabling includes removing the key from the key switch and removal of a battery wire.
• Insulate any tools used within the battery area in order to prevent sparks or battery explosion caused by shorting the
battery terminals or associated wiring. Remove the battery or cover exposed terminals with an insulating material.
• Use specified replacement parts. Never use replacement parts of lesser quality.
• Use recommended tools.
• Determine that tools and procedures not specifically recommended by the manufacturer will not compromise the
safety of personnel nor jeopardize the safe operation of the vehicle.
• Support the vehicle using wheel chocks and jack stands. Never get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. Lift
the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Empty the fuel tank or plug fuel hoses to prevent fuel leakage.
• Maintain the vehicle in an area away from exposed flame or persons who are smoking.
• Be aware that a vehicle that is not performing as designed is a potential hazard and must not be operated.
• Test drive the vehicle after any repairs or maintenance. All tests must be conducted in a safe area that is free of both
vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
• Replace damaged or missing warning, caution or information labels.
• Keep complete records of the maintenance history of the vehicle.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate all situations, therefore people attempting to maintain or repair the vehicle must have the
skill and experience to recognize and protect themselves from potential situations that could result in severe personal injury
or death and damage to the vehicle. Use extreme caution and, if unsure as to the potential for injury, refer the repair or
maintenance to a qualified mechanic.
VENTILATION
Always store gasoline vehicles in a well ventilated area. Ventilation prevents gasoline fumes from accumulating.
Never fuel a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or propane water
heaters and furnaces.
Never work around or operate a vehicle in an environment that does not ventilate exhaust gases from the area. Carbon
monoxide is a dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness and is potentially lethal.
