32 Safety Information
Fire Extinguisher
Anytime work is being done to the fuel system or any other area where
flammable substances are being used, have a fire extinguisher available and
know how to use it. Inspect and have it serviced as recommended on its
instruction label.
Respiratory Hazard Prevention
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.
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Always work in a well ventilated space if the engine needs to be running and
use a hose to route the exhaust to the outside.
Poisonous Substances
Coolant is toxic; risk of poisoning.
DO NOT drink coolant. Use proper hand protection when handling. Keep
coolant out of reach of children and animals. Failure to follow these
precautions can cause serious illness or death.
Cooling system supplemental additive contains alkali. To prevent personal
injury, avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
DO NOT drink coolant of any concentration.
