Before beginning any service opera-
tions or inspection of the vehicle,
switch off the engine and remove the

room in which you are working is prop-
erly ventilated.

ensure you prompt and accurate servicing.

liminary checking operations" after any
maintenance operation, see p. 35 (PRE-
LIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS).
