Mazda B-Series 1997 Workshop Manual page 2

WARNING
Servicing a vehicle can be dangerous. If you have not received service-
related training, the risks of injury and property damage increase. The
recommended servicing procedures for the vehicle in this troubleshooting
manual were developed with Mazda-trained technicians in mind. This
manual may be useful to non-Mazda trained technicians, but a technician
with our service-related training and experience will be at less risk when
performing servicing operations. However, all users of this manual are
expected to know general safety procedures.
This manual contains "Warnings" and "Cautions" applicable to risks not
normally encountered in a general technician's experience. They should
be followed to reduce the risk of injury and the risk that improper service or
repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to
understand that the "Warnings" and "Cautions" are not exhaustive. It is
impossible to warn crf all the hazardous consequences that might result
from failure to follow the procedures.
The procedures recommended and described in this manual are effective
methods of performing troubleshooting and repair. Some require tools
specifically designed for a specific purpose. Nonrecommended proce-
dures and tools shoijld include consideration for safety of the technician
and continued safe operation of the vehicle.
Parts should be replaced with genuine Mazda replacements parts, not
parts of lesser quality. Use of a nonrecommended replacement part
should include consideration for safety of the technician and continued
safe operation of the vehicle.
