PRECAUTIONS

A
WARNlNG
I
In certain type of engine service, the turbocharger
air inlet hose must
be removed so other parts are accessible for service or repairs. When
the air inlet hose is removed, THE TURBOCHARGER
IMPELLER
IS
EXPOSED AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR
ENGINE DAMAGE. Engine operation creates vacuum in the compressor
strong enough to suck objects into the impeller.
It is imperative
to
install a safety shield on the turbocharger
inlet opening whenever air
inlet hoses are removed. Failure to follow this precaution could result
in serious injury.
REMARK
Only in extreme circumstances
should an engine be run without clean,
filtered air.
REMARK
Shield is available from your distributor.
Shut down engine prior to removing air intake hose or attempting to install a
protective shield.
I
A
WARNlNG
Tag all controls to prevent inadvertent starting.
To install shield, remove air intake hose. Position shield over air intake opening
so screen rests securely against edge of opening. Position adjustable thumb
screws so shield is firmly attached.
