General Safety Information

DANGER: Engines produce carbon monoxide that is odorless, causes slower reaction time, and can lead to serious injury. When the engine is operating, keep service areas WELL VENTILATED or attach the vehicle exhaust system to the shop exhaust removal system.

WARNING: This ignition system generates approximately 40,000 Volts. Exercise care when performing spark test and always use non-conductive ignition wire pliers. Contact with this system may result in personal injury.

When servicing a vehicle, always wear appropriate eye protection, and remove any metal jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact.

Set the parking brake and block the wheels before testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially important to block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles; the parking brake does not hold the drive wheels.

Ignition systems present a shock hazard; exercise care when performing spark test.

Flooded engines may create a potentially hazardous situation.

- Keep all flames, sparks and heat sources away from flooded engines.
- When draining fuel contaminated oil, make sure the vehicle is located in a safe, well ventilated area.
- Disable The ignition system BEFORE cranking a flooded engine, with the spark plugs removed, due to the possibility of igniting any raw fuel coming out of the spark plug holes.
