Safety Information 13
Crushing or Cutting Prevention
Before working on a vehicle, set the
parking brakes, place the transmission in
neutral and block the wheels. Failure to
do so can result in unexpected vehicle
movement and can cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
Do not work near the fan with the en-
gine running or the ignition in the ON
position. The engine fan can engage at
any time without warning. Anyone near
the fan when it turns on could be seri-
ously injured.
Support equipment and components prop-
erly when working beneath them. Never
attempt adjustments while the engine is
running unless otherwise specified for the
service procedure. To help prevent an acci-
dent caused by moving parts, work
carefully around them. Guards, covers and
shields should be in place whenever main-
tenance is not being performed. Keep
objects away from moving fan blades. They
will throw or cut any object or tool that
falls or is pushed into them.
Inspect the fan blade assembly before ser-
vice for cracks or loose mounting before
starting the engine. Never stand along side
a rotating fan assembly, particularly at high
fan speeds.
