Safety Information 3 Proper Maintenance Procedure During Maintenance Whenever performing maintenance or repair, attach a DO NOT OPERATE or similar warning label or sign to the ignition key or make sure the label or sign is prominently displayed on the instrument panel. Before servicing your vehicle, apply the parking brakes and adequately chock the wheels in order to prevent unintended vehicle movement. If the service procedure requires the parking brakes to be released — recheck to ensure that the wheels are adequately chocked to prevent any forward and/or rearward movement. DO NOT allow unauthorized personnel on, around or in the vehicle when maintenance or repair is being performed.
WARNING DANGER DO NOT attempt to repair or service this vehicle without having sufficient training, correct service literature and the proper tools. Failure to follow this could lead to personal injury or making your vehicle unsafe. Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission in neutral, and block the wheels. Failure to do so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death. DO NOT use combustible substances in or around the engine either during repair or maintenance or when running the engine.
WARNING Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. When operating the engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. DANGER Never operate the engine in an area where hydrocarbon vapors (gasoline, for example) are present or are suspected to be present. Hydrocarbon vapors can enter the air intake and over speed the engine, causing severe engine damage and/or an explosion and fire. Serious personal injury or death could occur. DANGER Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Always run the engine outdoors or use a properly vented exhaust hose.
Prolonged or excessive exposure may cause serious illness or death.
