Vehicle Overview
Foam Sound Deadener Warning
Warning: Foam sound deadener must be removed from areas
within 152.4 mm (6 in) of where flame is to be used for body
repairs. When reinstalling foam sound deadener, avoid
inhaling fumes as bodily injury may result.
Fuel and Evaporative Emission Pipe Warning
Warning: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 O-rings located in the female
connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection
if not lubricated.)
Fuel Gage Leak Warning
Warning: 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 gage. Place the towel in an
approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure
gage is complete.
Fuel Pipe Fitting Warning
Warning: Always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the
male pipe ends before connecting the 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 O-rings located in the female connector
will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
Fuel Storage Warning
Warning: 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.
Warnings and Notices
Fuel Vapors in
Components Warning
Warning: Do not breathe the air through the EVAP component
tubes or hoses. The fuel vapors inside the EVAP components
may cause personal injury.
Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Warning
Warning: 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.
Glass and Sheet Metal Handling Warning
Warning: When working with any type of glass or sheet metal
with exposed or rough edges, wear approved safety glasses
and gloves in order to reduce the chance of personal injury.
Halogen Bulb Warning
Warning: Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure. Handling
a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying glass
fragments. To help avoid personal injury:
– Turn off the lamp switch and allow the bulb to cool before
changing the bulb.
– Leave the lamp switch OFF until the bulb change is
complete.
–
Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb.
– Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass.
– Keep dirt and moisture off the bulb.
– Properly dispose of the used bulb.
– Keep halogen bulbs out of the reach of children.
Lower O-Ring Removal Warning
Warning: Verify that the lower (small) O-ring of each injector
does not remain in the lower manifold in order to reduce the
risk of fire and personal injury.
Warning: If the O-ring is not removed with the injector, the
replacement injector with new O-rings will not seat properly in
the injector socket. Improper seating could cause a fuel leak.
Moving Parts and Hot Surfaces Warning
Warning: Avoid contact with moving parts and hot surfaces
while working around a running engine in order to prevent
physical injury.
