GETTING TO YOUR ENGINE
1
WARNING!
Before opening or closing the hood,
make sure your footing is secure and
stable. Failure to do so may cause
the hood to close uncontrollably which
may result in death or personal injury.
WARNING!
Always ensure the hood hold-open
latch is engaged to keep the hood fully
open any time anyone gets under the
hood for any reason. Failure to do so
may cause the hood to close uncon-
trollably which may result in death or
personal injury.
WARNING!
Before closing the hood, be sure the
area is clear—no people or objects are
in the way. Failure to do so may result
in death or personal injury.
