Allison Transmission 3000

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTES
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be completely familiar with the warnings
and cautions described in this handbook. It is, however, important to understand
that these warnings and cautions are not exhaustive. Allison Transmission could
not possibly know, evaluate, and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways
in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each
way. The vehicle manufacturer is responsible for providing information related to
the operation of vehicle systems (including appropriate warnings, cautions, and
notes). Consequently, Allison Transmission has not undertaken any such broad
evaluation. Accordingly, ANYONE WHO USES A SERVICE PROCEDURE OR
TOOL WHICH IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY ALLISON TRANSMISSION OR
THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER MUST first be thoroughly satisfied that
neither personal safety nor equipment safety will be jeopardized by the service
methods selected.
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of the
equipment. The service procedures recommended by Allison Transmission (or the
vehicle manufacturer) and described in this handbook are effective methods for
performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of
tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used when
and as recommended.
The following three types of headings are used in this manual to attract your
attention.
WARNING: A warning is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., if not correctly followed, could result in personal injury or loss of
life.
CAUTION: A caution is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of
equipment.
NOTE: A note is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc., is
essential to highlight.
