4 Safety Information
•
Report all problems in a timely man-
ner before they threaten the safety of
operating the vehicle.
•
Do not work on the engine while it is
running.
•
Tag the vehicle with the DO NOT
OPERATE sign. Make sure other pro-
tective locks and covers are in their
proper place.
•
Disconnect the batteries whenever
performing any repairs or before ser-
vicing the electrical system.
•
DO NOT use high amperage elec-
tronic starting devices for
jump-starting the engine. Rely on con-
ventional battery charging for charging
the batteries or jump-start with the
help of a start battery.
•
DO NOT attempt repairs you do not
understand or have the proper tools for.
•
When starting an engine after repairs
have been made to the fuel or injection
system, prepare equipment for shutting
off the engine intake air and/or fuel
supply (to stop the engine), in case
there is an overspeed on start-up.
•
Start the engine only from the driver
seat. Never operate the starter motor
across the starter terminals or the bat-
teries as this could by-pass the engine
neutral-start system as well as causing
damage to the electrical or electronic
systems.
Never try to operate or work on this
vehicle while under the influence of al-
cohol. Your reflexes can be affected by
even a small amount of alcohol. Drink-
ing and operating this vehicle can lead
to an accident, causing serious personal
injury or death.
