Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing mainte\

Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can\

accumulate.

•
The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking
brake set and the engine off.
