the protection of all personnel and the vehicle, be aware
of and observe the following:
NOTICE
A NOTICE indicates a condition that should be observed.
A CAUTION indicates a condition that may result in dam-
age to the vehicle or surrounding facilities.
A WARNING indicates a hazardous condition
which could result in serious injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
In any product, components will eventually fail to per-
form properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or
abuse.
It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible compo-
nent failures or the manner in which each component
may fail.
Be aware that a vehicle requiring repair indicates that
the vehicle is no longer functioning as designed and
therefore should be considered potentially hazardous.
Use extreme care when working on any vehicle. When
diagnosing, removing or replacing any components that
are not operating correctly, take the time to consider the
safety ramifications if the component should move unex-
pectedly.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly cor-
rosive, explosive or may produce high amperage or
reach high temperatures. Gasoline, carbon monoxide,
battery acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious
bodily injury to the technician/mechanic and bystanders
if not treated with utmost caution. Be careful not to place
hands, face, feet or body in a location that could expose
them to injury should an unforeseen situation occur.
Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list
and wear approved safety equipment.
MODIFICATIONS TO VEHICLE
Do not modify the vehicle in any manner that will change
the weight distribution of the vehicle.
Changes to the weight distribution or the center of gravity
may make the vehicle unstable or prone to roll over which
could result in injury or death to the operator or passen-
ger(s).
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
When any maintenance procedure or inspection is per-
formed, it is important that care be exercised to insure
the safety of the technician/mechanic or bystanders and
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Always read the entire relevant manual section (chap-
ter) before attempting any inspection or service.
