IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
In any product, components will eventually fail to per-
form properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or
abuse. It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible
component failures or the manner in which each compo-
nent may fail.
Be aware that a vehicle requiring repair indicates that
the vehicle is no longer functioning as designed and
therefore should be considered potentially hazardous.
Use extreme care when working on any vehicle. When
diagnosing, removing or replacing any components that
are not operating correctly, take the time to consider the
safety of yourself and others around you if the compo-
nent should move unexpectedly.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly cor-
rosive, explosive or may produce high amperage or
reach high temperatures. Battery acid and hydrogen gas
could result in serious bodily injury to the technician/
mechanic and bystanders if not treated with utmost cau-
tion. Be careful not to place hands, face, feet or body in
a location that could expose them to injury should an
unforeseen situation occur.
Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list
and wear approved safety equipment.
MODIFICATIONS TO VEHICLE
To prevent personal injury or death to the oper-
ator or passenger(s), do not make changes to
the weight distribution or the center of gravity
which could make the vehicle unstable or
prone to roll over.
Do not modify the vehicle in any manner that will change
the weight distribution of the vehicle.
