Safety precautions

The following safety precautions are not intended to be exhaustive. Safe work practices should be used when servicing or operating heavy machinery. ALWAYS give the engine an opportunity to cool down before performing throttle control system servicing. ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment including safety glasses, gloves and suitable clothing, particularly when servicing cable connections. ALWAYS be aware of, and isolate, other forms of energy and pinch points (fan, belts, pulleys, drive lines) when accessing the engine compartment including pneumatic stored pressure, engine coolant pressure and other heat sources such as engine block and exhaust system components.
