General Safety Guidelines

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Always wear appropriate eye protection.
- Always block drive wheels and set parking brake before performing any service.
- Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use jackstands, on a flat and level hard surface, for safe support.
- Read all related instructions &/or procedures, and review all related diagrams before performing any service on emission control or engine management systems.

IGNITION / ELECTRICAL
Ignition systems present a shock hazard; exercise care when performing spark test and always use non-conductive ignition wire pliers.

FUEL
When servicing the fuel system use the following cautions:

- Put a "CAUTION: FLAMMABLE" sign in the workshop.
- Be sure to furnish the shop with the proper fire extinguisher.
- Be sure to disconnect battery ground cable before any service work is done.
- Place a suitable container under the connection to be opened.
- Slowly open connection, allow pressure to escape, and catch spilled fuel in container.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

- Disconnect line or hose, then plug all fittings.
- Put any drained fuel in an explosive-proof container and put the lid on securely.
