•When operating on a vehicle be attentive and cautious
for hot parts on systems that have been turned off,
exhaust gas flow, and hot fluids in lines, tubs, and
compartments. Direct contact to skin may cause
severe burns.
•Always use tools that are in good working condition.
Service technicians must be trained and have proper
understanding on how to use the tools before
administering service.
•When replacing items use the same and/or equivalent
fastener part number at all times. Conversely, do not
use a fastener of reduced quality if replacement is
needed.
•To prevent bodily injury or harm do not perform any
repairs when impaired, fatigued or after consuming
alcohol or drugs that can impair one’s functioning.
•According to several states and federal agencies
within the United States of America it has been
evident that used engine oil can be carcinogenic,

Important Safety Notices
Warning
Ill-advised practices, negligence, and/or ignoring warning
signs may cause death, personal injury, equipment or property
damages.
Before proceeding please read and understand all safety
precautions and warnings. The list as follows contains the
general safety provisions that must be followed.
Work areas should be dry, well lit, ventilated, and free of
clutter such as loose tools, parts, ignition sources and
hazardous substances. All personnel must be aware of
hazardous conditions that can coexist.
•Wear protective shoes when working. Opened toed
shoes are not allowed.
•Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation, or
strangulation. Be alert at all times when operating
machinery.
•When working, do not wear loose-fitting or torn
clothing. Additionally, do not wear jewelry. These are
hazards that may cause personal injury.
•Before beginning any repairs, disconnect the battery
(negative [-] cable) from both battery boxes and
discharge any capacitors.
•To prevent accidental engine starting disconnect the
air starting motor, if equipped.
•To prevent personal injury or harm to the specified
unit place a “do not operate” tag in the operator’s
compartment or on the controls.
•Before operating, allow the engine to cool.
•Always use blocks or proper stands to support the
vehicle or vehicle components before executing
service repairs. It is important that one does not
operate on anything that is supported only by lifting
jacks or a hoist.
•To reduce the probability of personal injury, use a
hoist or get assistance when lifting components that
weigh 23 kg [50 lbs.] or more. Make certain all lifting
devices such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good
condition and are of the correct load capacity.
Furthermore, all lifting devices must be positioned
correctly. When needed, always use a spreader bar.
Also, lifting hooks must not be side-loaded.
