2.1 Warnings and Notices

2.1.1 Warnings and Notices
Battery Disconnect Warning
Warning!
Warning: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and
start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and
all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any
electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery
cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or
equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical
terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result
in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its
components.
Exhaust Service Warning
Warning!
Warning: In order to avoid being burned, do not service
the exhaust system while it is still hot. Service the system
when it is cool.
Fuel and Evaporative Emission Pipe Warning
Warning!
Warning: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury observe the following items:
–
Replace all fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or
damaged during installation, do not attempt to repair
the sections of the fuel pipes
– Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips
when installing new fuel pipes.
– Always cover 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 higher 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.)
Warnings and Notices
Fuel Gage Leak Warning
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!
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!
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.
Fuel vapors in Evaporative Emission Components
Warning
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!
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 fire extinguisher nearby.
