15. When using compressed air to
dry rotating parts, hold the part
so it does not rotate. Do not allow
the force of the air to spin the
part. The air jet is capable of
rotating parts at extreme speed.
The part may disintegrate of
become damaged, causing
serious injury.
16. Do not inhale the dust created by
brake pad and clutch wear.
These particles may contain
asbestos. In addition, some types
of insulating materials and
gaskets may contain asbestos.
Inhaling asbestos particles is
hazardous to one’s health.
17. Never work on the UTV while
someone is working under it.
Handling Gasoline Safely
Gasoline is a volatile flammable liquid and
is one of the most dangerous items in the
shop. Because gasoline is used so often,
many people forget it is hazardous. Only
use gasoline as fuel for gasoline internal
combustion engines. Keep in mind when
working on the machine, gasoline is
always present in the fuel tank, fuel line
and carburetor. To avoid a disastrous
accident when working around the fuel
system, carefully observe the following
precautions:
1. Never use gasoline to clean parts.
Refer to Cleaning Parts in this
section.
2. When working of the fuel system,
work outside or in a well-ventilated
area.
3. Do not add fuel to the fuel tank or
service the fuel system while the
UTV is near open flames, sparks or
where someone is smoking.
Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, it
collects in low areas and is more
easily ignited than liquid gasoline.
4. Allow the engine to cool completely
before working on any fuel system
component.
5. Do not store gasoline in glass
containers. If the glass breaks, a
serious explosion of fire may occur.
6. Immediately wipe up spilled gasoline
with rags. Store the rags in a metal
container with a lid until they can be
properly disposed of, or place them
outside in a safe place for the fuel to
evaporate.
7. Do not pour water onto a gasoline
fire. Water spreads the fire and
makes it more difficult to put out.
Use a class B, BC or ABC fire
extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
8. Always turn off the engine before
refueling. Do not spill fuel onto the
engine or exhaust system. Do not
overfill the fuel tank. Leave an air
space at the top of the tank to allow
room for the fuel to expand due to
temperature fluctuations.
