Safety Precautions During Maintenance

When performing maintenance, follow all safety instructions contained in the manufacturer's operation and service
manuals, as well as the following safety procedures:
• Properly immobilize vehicle before beginning any
maintenance to avoid any unexpected vehicle
movement.
• Properly block chassis before working underneath
vehicle to avoid any unexpected vehicle movement.
• When working on the fuel system or the battery, do
not smoke, or allow any sparks or open flames near
the vehicle, to avoid any fires
or explosions.
• Before working on an electric vehicle, disable the
vehicles electrical system in accordance with the
manufacturer' s instructions to avoid electrical shock
or damage to the electrical system.
• Use only properly insulated tools when working on
electrically powered vehicles or around batteries to
avoid electrical shock or damage to the electrical
system.
• Maintain all safety devices including brakes, steering
mechanisms, warning devices, and governors, in a
safe operating condition. Do not modify these safety
devices as supplied by the manufacturer.
• After each maintenance or repair, the vehicle must
be driven by a qualified, trained, and authorized
person - in an area free of pedestrian traffic - to
ensure proper operation and adjustment.
• Record all maintenance performed in a maintenance
record log by date, name of person performing
maintenance, and type of maintenance. Periodically
inspect maintenance log to ensure accurate and
complete entries.
• Provide operator comment cards to assist in
identifying non-periodic maintenance needs for
specific vehicles.
• Maintain in a legible condition all nameplates,
warnings, and instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
