CAUTION

Working with the heating and cooling systems will expose you to conditions that could result in personal injury. The two most common personal injury accidents associated with the cooling and exhaust systems are getting burned and getting caught in a moving part. Please observe the following safety measures while working on the cooling and exhaust systems. Hot coolant or steam can cause severe burns. If possible, avoid touching or working on any part of the cooling system until it has an opportunity to cool (approximately four hours after the last use). If you must work on a hot system, you should relieve the built-up pressure by carefully opening the radiator cap. Cover the radiator pressure cap with a rag and turn it slowly to the first stop. This will let the pressure out of the cooling system before removing the radiator cap. Be careful not to expose any body parts to steam or coolant escaping from the radiator. Total arm covering is required. Whenever possible, work with the engine turned off. If a situation arises where you have to work on the cooling or exhaust systems while the engine is running, be sure to observe the following safety procedures: place the transmission in neutral, engage the parking brake, lower the forks onto the floor, and double block the wheels. Moving parts can cause injury! Keep hands, arms, and clothing away from rotating belts and fan. Never wear loose clothing. Tie back long hair while inspecting the belts and fan. Avoid wearing rings, watches and jewelry. Don't stand inline with a rotating fan. Exhaust parts are hot and could cause severe burns.
