manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations and provide advice or
cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone who departs from the instructions
provided in this Manual must first establish that neither personal safety nor
equipment integrity are compromised by the choice of methods, tools or parts.
As you read through the procedures, you will come across NOTES, CAUTIONS,
and WARNINGS. Each one is there for a specific purpose. NOTES gives you added
information that will help you to complete a particular procedure. CAUTIONS are
given to prevent you from making an error that could damage the equipment.
WARNINGS remind you to be especially careful in those areas where carelessness
can cause personal injury. The following list contains some general WARNINGS
that you should follow when you work on the equipment.
• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
• Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the equipment.
• Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise
required by the procedure.
• Set the parking brake (if equipped) when working on the equipment. If you have
an automatic transmission, set it in PARK REVERSE (engine off) or NEUTRAL
(engine on) unless instructed otherwise for a specific operation. Place wood
blocks (4”x 4” or larger) to the front and rear surfaces of the tires to provide further
restraint from inadvertent equipment movement.
• Operate the engine only in a well ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon
monoxide.
• Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is
running, especially the fan belts.
• To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator,
exhaust manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
• Do not smoke while working on the equipment.
• To reduce the risk of injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry,
and loose clothing before beginning to work on the equipment. Tie long hair
securely behind the head.
• Keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades. Electric cooling
fans can start to operate at any time by an increase in underhood temperatures,
even though the ignition is in the OFF position. Therefore, care should be taken to
ensure that the electric cooling fan is completely disconnected when working
under the hood.
