Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however,
we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

Maintenance Safety

• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames

away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.

• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not

gasoline.

• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or

compressed air.

• Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can

accumulate.

Vehicle Safety

• The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking

brake set and the engine off.

• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
