Safety Precautions
DANGER:
When an engine is operating, keep the
service area well ventilated or attach a
building exhaust removal system to the
engine exhaust system . Engines produce
carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous
gas that causes slower reaction time and
can lead to serious personal injury or loss
of life .
WARNING:
• When working with hydraulic or fuel
lines, be careful that liquids under
pressure do not escape and create a
dangerous condition . Use adequate
ventilation and make sure there are
no sparks or possibility of sparks that
may ignite any vapor .
• Wear an American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) approved eye shield
when testing or repairing vehicles .
• Objects propelled by whirling engine
components or pressurized liquids
escaping may cause personal injury .
• Set the parking brake and block the
wheels before testing or repairing a
vehicle . It is especially important to
block the wheels on front-wheel drive
vehicles because the parking brake
does not hold the drive wheels .
