o

 

Always remove jewelry and wear eye protection.  

o

 

Always use extreme caution when jacking up a vehicle for work. Set 
emergency brake and use tire blocks. Locate and use the vehicle 
manufacturers designated lifting points. Use jack stands.  

o

 

Always use appropriate and adequate care in lifting components into place.  

o

 

Always ensure components will remain secure during installation and 
operation.  

o

sides of material when possible) prior to drilling, and relocate any objects that 
may be damaged.

area to be welded (on both sides of material when possible) prior to welding, 
and relocate any objects that may be a fire hazard. When welding in a cab, 
make sure the interior surfaces are covered (

e.g.

, welding blanket) and a fire 

extinguisher is at hand.
