CAUTION statements in this manual as well as those on the vehicle.
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple
repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair.
The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or
accessory installation.
• Prior to servicing the vehicle or leaving the vehicle unattended, turn the key switch OFF,
remove the key, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Chock the
wheels when servicing the vehicle.
• To avoid unintentionally starting the vehicle:
- Disconnect battery cables, negative (–) cable first (Figure 1-2, Page 1-3).
- Gasoline vehicles only: Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs.
• Frame ground – Do not allow tools or other metal objects to contact frame when
disconnecting battery cables or other electrical wiring. Do not allow a positive wire to touch
the vehicle frame, engine, or any other metal component.
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear a full face
shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the
vehicle.
• Moving parts! Do not attempt to service the vehicle while it is running.
• Hot! Do not attempt to service hot engine or exhaust system. Failure to heed this warning
could result in severe burns.

caution to avoid shorting of components or wiring.
