Safety Information 13 Crushing or Cutting Prevention DANGER 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. W0001524 WARNING DO NOT work near the fan with the engine running or the ignition in the ON position. The engine fan can engage at any time without warning. Anyone near the fan when it turns on could be seriously injured. Support equipment and components properly when working beneath them. Never attempt adjustments while the engine is running unless otherwise specified for the service procedure.
To help prevent an accident caused by moving parts, work carefully around them. Guards, covers and shields should be in place whenever maintenance is not being performed. Keep objects away from moving fan blades. They will throw or cut any object or tool that falls or is pushed into them. Inspect the fan blade assembly before service for cracks or loose mounting before starting the engine. Never stand alongside a rotating fan assembly, particularly at high fan speeds.
