SAFETY INFORMATION PROPER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission
in neutral, and chock the wheels. Failure to do so can result in unexpected
vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.
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.

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.

alcohol. Your reflexes can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol.
Drinking and operating this vehicle can lead to an accident, causing serious
personal injury or death.
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.

of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
