4 .. Cautions and Notices
Brake Fluid Caution
Caution: Brake fluid may be irritating to the skin
or eyes. In case of contact, take the following
actions:
• Eye contact-rinse eyes thoroughly with water.
• Skin contact-wash skin with soap and water.
Clutch Dust Caution
Caution: When servicing clutch parts, do not
create dust by grinding or sanding the clutch disc
or by cleaning parts with a dry .brush or with
compressed air. A water-dampened cloth-NOT
SOAKED-should be used. The clutch disc
contains asbestos fibers which can become
airborne if dust is created during servicing.
Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may
cause serious bodily harm.
Electric Coolant Fan Caution
Caution: An electric fan under the hood can start
up even when the engine is not running and
can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.
Fuel and EV AP Pipe Caution
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury observe the following items:
• Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked,
scratched or damaged during installation,
do not attempt to repair the sections of
the nylon fuel pipes
• Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness
body clips when installing new fuel pipes.
Damage to the nylon pipes may result
in a fuel leak.
• Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet
towel before using a torch near them. Also,
never expose .the vehicle to temperatures
higher than 115°C (239°F) for more than one
hour, or more than 90°C (194°F) for any
extended period.
• Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the
male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe
fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection
and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During
normal operation, the 0-rings located in the
female connector will swell and may prevent
proper reconnection if not lubricated.)
Fuel Gauge Leak Caution
Caution: Wrap a shop towel around the fuel
pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of
fire and personal injury. The towel will absorb
any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection
of the fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an
approved container when the connection of
the fuel pressure gauge is complete.
Preface
Fuel Pipe Fitting Caution
Caution: Always apply a few drops of clean engine
oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel
pipe fittings in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent
a possible fuel leak.
During normal operation, the 0-rings located in
the female connector will swell and may prevent
proper reconnection if not lubricated.
Fuel Storage Caution
Caution: Do not drain the fuel into an open
container. Never store the fuel in an open
container due to the possibility of a fire or an
explosion.
Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Caution
Caution: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly
flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source
is present. Never drain or store gasoline or
diesel fuel in an open container, due to the
possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical
(Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
Lower 0-Ring Removal Caution
Caution: Verify that the lower (small) 0-ring of
each injector does not remain in the lower
manifold in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury.
If the 0-ring is not removed with the injector, the
replacement injector with new 0-rings will not seat
properly in the injector socket. Improper seating
could cause a fuel leak.
Moving Parts and Hot Surfaces Caution
Caution: While working around a running engine,
avoid contact with moving parts and hot surfaces
to prevent possible bodily injury.
Relieving Fuel Pressure Caution
Caution: Relieve the fuel system pressure before
servicing fuel system components in order to
reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
After relieving the system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing
the fuel lines or connections. In order to reduce the
chance of personal injury, cover the regulator
and the fuel line fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting. This will catch any fuel that
may leak out. Place the towel in an approved
container when the disconnection is complete.
Road Test Caution
Caution: Road test a vehicle under safe conditions
and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt
any maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle
control. Failure to adhere to these precautions
could lead to serious personal injury.
