Safety Information 3
Proper Maintenance Procedure
During Maintenance
Whenever performing maintenance or repair,
attach a DO NOT OPERATE or similar
warning label or sign to the ignition key or
make sure the label or sign is prominently
displayed on the instrument panel.
DO NOT allow unauthorized personnel
on, around or in the vehicle when
maintenance or repair is being performed.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to repair or service this
vehicle without having sufficient training,
correct service literature and the proper
tools. Failure to follow this could lead to
personal injury or making your vehicle
unsafe.
WARNING
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its
constituents are known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm.
•
When operating the engine in an
enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the
outside.
DANGER
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide.
Always run the engine outdoors or use a
properly vented exhaust hose. Prolonged
or excessive exposure may cause serious
illness or death.
•
Before servicing your vehicle, apply
the parking brakes and adequately
chock the wheels in order to prevent
unintended vehicle movement. If the
service procedure requires the parking
brakes to be released — recheck to
ensure that the wheels are adequately
chocked to prevent any forward and/or
rearward movement.
DANGER
Before working on a vehicle, set the
parking brakes, place the transmission in
neutral, and block the wheels. Failure to
do so can result in unexpected vehicle
movement and can cause serious personal
injury or death.
•
DO NOT use combustible substances
in or around the engine either during
repair or maintenance or when running
the engine.
DANGER
Never operate the engine in an area
where hydrocarbon vapors (gasoline, for
example) are present or are suspected to
be present. Hydrocarbon vapors can enter
the air intake and over speed the engine,
causing severe engine damage and/or
an explosion and fire. Serious personal
injury or death could occur.
