SAFETY
NOTICE, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Throughout this manual, the following NOTICE,
CAUTIONS , WARNINGS and DANGERS are used. For
the protection of all personnel and the vehicle, be aware
of and observe the following:
NOTICE: A NOTICE indicates a condition that
should be observed.
A CAUTION indicates a condition
that may result in damage to the
vehicle or surrounding facilities.
A WARNING indicates a hazardous
condition which could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
In any product, components will eventually fail to perform
properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or abuse.
It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible compo-
nent failures or the manner in which each component
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 oper-
ating correctly, take the time to consider the safety ramifi-
cations if the component should move unexpectedly.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly corro-
sive, explosive or may produce high amperage or reach
high temperatures. Gasoline, carbon monoxide, battery
acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious bodily injury
to the technician/mechanic and bystanders if not treated
with utmost caution. 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
Do not modify the vehicle in any manner that will change
the weight distribution of the vehicle.
Changes to the weight distribution
or the center of gravity may make
the vehicle unstable or prone to roll
over which could result in injury or death to the
operator or passenger(s).
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
When any maintenance procedure or inspection is per-
formed, it is important that care be exercised to insure the
safety of the technician/mechanic or bystanders and to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Always read the
entire relevant manual section (chapter)
before attempting any inspection or service.
BEFORE SERVICING THE VEHICLE
Before attempting to inspect or service a vehicle, be sure
to read the following warnings:
To prevent personal injury or death,
observe the following:
Before working on the vehicle, remove all
jewelry (rings, watch, necklaces, etc.).
Be sure that no loose clothing or hair can
become caught in the moving parts of the
powertrain.
Use care not to contact hot objects.
Before attempting to operate or adjust the
powertrain, the rear of the vehicle must be
raised and supported on jack stands.
Wear OSHA approved clothing and eye
protection when working on anything that
could expose the body or eyes to potential
injury. In particular, use care when working
with or around batteries, compressed air or
solvents.
Always turn the key switch to ‘OFF’ and
remove the key before disconnecting a live
circuit.
When connecting battery cables, pay par-
ticular attention to the polarity of the bat-
tery terminals. Never confuse the positive
and negative cables.
Set the parking ‘PARK’ brake before per-
forming any work on the vehicle.
If repairs are to be made that will require
welding or cutting, the battery and fuel
tank must be removed and the fuel system
drained.
To prevent explosion that could
result in severe personal injury or
death, keep all smoking materials,
open flame or sparks away from gasoline and bat-
teries.
Never operate the starter with the spark
plugs removed unless the ignition system
has been disabled and the engine/exhaust
are cold. Fuel expelled from the cylinders
could be ignited by the ignition system or
