SAFETY
NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS
AND DANGERS
Read the NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DAN-
GERS in this manual. The person who services a vehicle
requires mechanical skill and experience to see possible
hazardous conditions. Incorrect service or repairs can
cause damage to the vehicle or make the vehicle danger-
ous to operate.
A NOTICE indicates and describes information not
related to personal injury.
A CAUTION indicates a dangerous condition that
can cause injury that is not life threatening.
A WARNING indicates a dangerous condition
that can cause death or serious injury.
A DANGER indicates a dangerous condi-
tion that will cause death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
Normal use, age, wear or abuse can cause some compo-
nents on the vehicle to fail.
The manufacturer cannot know all possible component
failures or the methods that failures can occur.
A vehicle in need of repair does not operate correctly and
can be dangerous.
Be careful when you service the vehicle. Be aware of
your safety and the safety of other persons in the area, if
the vehicle unexpectedly moves.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, corrosive,
explosive, can cause high amperage or get hot. Battery
acid and hydrogen gas can cause injury. Do not put your
hands, face, feet or body in a location that can expose
them to injury if an unexpected situation occurs.
Always use the correct tools shown in the tool list and
wear approved safety equipment.
MODIFICATIONS TO VEHICLE
Do not modify the vehicle in any manner that will change
the weight distribution of the vehicle.
Changes to the weight distribution or the
center of gravity decreases the stability of the
vehicle and can cause it to easily turn over.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Always use correct service procedures. Never
do any type of service procedure before you
read and understand all notices, cautions,
warnings and dangers in this manual.
When any maintenance procedure or inspection is done,
use caution to make sure the technician or any person in
the area is safe. Use caution to decrease the risk of dam-
age to the vehicle.
Always read and understand the full applicable manual
section (chapter) before you do any inspection or service.
BEFORE SERVICING VEHICLE
Before attempting to inspect or service a vehicle, be sure
to read and understand the following warnings:
Remove all jewelry before you work on the
vehicle.
Do not allow loose clothing or hair to contact
the moving parts.
Do not touch hot objects.
Before you engage or adjust the power-train,
lift and support the vehicle on the jack stands.
Wear OSHA approved clothing and eye pro-
tection when working on anything that could
expose the body or eyes to potential injury. In
particular, use care when working around bat-
tery, using compressed air or solvents.
