NOTES, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Throughout this manual, the following NOTES, CAU-
TIONS and WARNINGS are used. For the protection of
all personnel and the vehicle, be aware of and observe
the following:
A NOTE indicates a condition that should be
observed.
A CAUTION indicates a condi-
tion that may result in damage to
the vehicle or surrounding facilities.
A WARNING indi-
cates a hazardous
condition which

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 there-
fore should be considered potentially hazardous. Use
extreme care when working on any vehicle. When diag-
nosing, 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
operator or passen-
ger(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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To prevent severe
injury or death
resulting from
improper servicing techniques, observe the
following Warnings:
Do not attempt any type of servicing opera-
tions before reading and understanding all
notes, cautions and warnings in this manu-
al.
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 and understand the entire relevant manual
section (chapter) before attempting any inspection or
service.
