Maintenance Safety

Important Safety Precautions
Before you begin any maintenance,

make sure your car is parked on

level ground and that the parking
brake is set. Also, be sure the engine
is off. This will help to eliminate

several potential hazards:

Carbon monoxide poisoning

from engine exhaust. Be sure

there is adequate ventilation

whenever you operate the engine.

Burns from hot parts. Let the
engine and exhaust system cool

before touching any parts.

Injury from moving parts. Do
not run the engine unless in-

structed to do so.

Read the instructions before you

begin, and make sure you have the

tools and skills required.

To reduce the possibility of fire or

explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline or batteries. Use a
commercially available degreaser or

parts cleaner, not gasoline, to clean
parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and

flames away from the battery and all
fuel-related parts.

You should wear eye protection and

protective clothing when working
near the battery or when using

compressed air.
