WSG-1068 GENERAL INFORMATION
Safety Notice
There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for servicing equipment, as well as in the skill of
the individual doing the work. This 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.
Notes, Cautions, and Warnings
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.
GENERAL WARNINGS:
TO HELP AVOID INJURY:
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 (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.
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.
