WARNING SUMMARY (Contd)
• Ignition switch must remain OFF during fuel system troubleshooting checks. Failure to verify that
ignition system is turned off may result in injury to personnel.
• Keep fingers clear of hood and cowling when replacing hinge. Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel.
• Hot coolant is under pressure. Care should be used when removing coolant filler cap or inspecting hot
engine coolant leaks. Steam or hot coolant under pressure may cause severe injury to personnel.
• Do not touch hot exhaust system components with bare hands. Severe injury to personnel may result.
• Short front flexible hydraulic brake lines are subject to failure during full steering travel and must be
replaced with new, longer flexible hydraulic brake lines P/N 7409330. Failure to comply may cause
injury or death to personnel.
• Weight of vehicles must be supported on jack stands at all times. Do not attempt to support weight of
vehicle on hydraulic jack. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
• Ensure lifting capacity is greater than weight of cargo body. Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel or damage to equipment.
• Ensure lifting capacity is greater than 5,535 lb (2513 kg). Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel or damage to equipment.
• All personnel must stand clear during lifting operations. A swinging or shifting load may cause injury
to personnel.
• Do not detach lifting device from engine until all engine weight is equally distributed and engine is
stable. An improperly supported engine may cause injury to personnel.
• Lifting device must have a weight capacity greater than the weight of the engine and transmission to
prevent damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
• Stay clear of moving parts. Failure to do so may result in injury or death to personnel.
• Exhaust gases can kill. Do not operate personnel heater in enclosed areas. Ensure work area is well
ventilated and exhaust fumes are directed away from the test area.
• Failure to perform preliminary inspection on a deadlined vehicle may result in injury to personnel
and/or damage to equipment.
• Pressure plate is heavy. Support pressure plate during removal. Failure to do so may result in injury
to personnel.
• Use prybar to free engine during lifting operations. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel.
• Turn vehicle engine off before installing pulse tachometer. Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel.

injury to personnel.
• Support cab body while in raised position for mount replacement. Failure to do so may result in injury
to personnel.
• If rod clevis is not positioned tightly against cover window bearing screw, fuel shutoff rod may be
binding. Verify fuel shutoff rod travels freely before adjusting clearance between rod clevis and
bearing screw. Failure to verify fuel shutoff rod condition may result in governor sticking under
