•It is dangerous to get under a jacked-up vehicle.
The vehicle could slip o the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the
engine while the vehicle is on a jack. If you need to
get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a li.
•Hot oil can cause severe burns. Use extreme care
when removing lubricaon plugs and when working
close to a unit that has been in operaon.
•Check lube level between scheduled lube changes to insure that proper lube
level is maintained. Inspect vent plug to insure it is clean and operang. Inspect
the ghtness of mounng bolts, misalignment of connecng shas, lube leak-
age, excessive heang, or any unusual noise or vibraon.
•Serious personal injury may occur as a result of improperly performed mainte-
nance, adjustments or repairs.
•Do not aempt any of the maintenance, checks or repairs described on the fol-
lowing pages if you are not fully familiar with these or other procedures with

necessary work done by a properly equipped and qualied workshop.
•Always be extremely careful when working on the transmission. Always follow
commonly accepted safety pracces and general common sense. Never risk
personal injury.
