SAFETY

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline

to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away

from sources of heat or ame.

CELL PHONES

A driver's rst responsibility is the safe operation of

the vehicle. The most important thing you can do

to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay

attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate

Mobile Communication Equipment such as cell phones,

text messaging devices, pagers, or two-way radios.

VENTILATION

BATTERY SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline is highly ammable and gasoline

vapor is explosive. Never smoke while

working on vehicle. Keep all open ames

away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up

any spilled gasoline immediately.

CAUTION

Batteries normally produce explosive gases

which can cause personal injury. Therefore,

do not allow ames, sparks, or lit tobacco

to come near the battery. When charging or

working near a battery, always cover your

face and protect your eyes, and also provide

ventilation.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which burns

skin, eyes, and clothing.

• Disconnect the battery before removing or

replacing any electrical components.

WARNING

Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes. Breathing

these fumes, even in low concentrations,

can cause death. Never operate a vehicle in

an enclosed area without venting exhaust to

the outside.

FUSES

The electrical system contains several automotive-style

fuses. If a problem should occur and fuse replacement

is necessary, the replacement fuse must be of the

same type and amperage rating as the original.

Installing a fuse with a higher rating can damage the

system and could start a re.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Remove ignition key and put the vehicle in PARK

or in gear to prevent others from starting the

vehicle during installation or service.

• Wear only snug-tting clothing while working on

your vehicle or spreader.

• Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure

long hair.

• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from

battery acid, gasoline, dirt, and dust.

• Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine,

radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.

• Always have a re extinguisher rated BC handy,

for ammable liquids and electrical res.
