38 PRECAUTIONS COOLING SYSTEMPRECAUTIONS WARNING: • Coolant is poisonous to humans and animals. Use care when handling coolant, otherwise death or injury may occur. • Never loosen or remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine cooling system is still hot. Removing the reservoir cap may allow hot coolant or steam to escape, causing severe burns. When working with the engine or the engine coolant system, observe the following precautions: • The electric radiator fan, may operate at any time. Use care when working near the radiator fan. Disconnect the battery negative (-) cable whenever possible. • Always add the recommended brand and mixture of coolant to the engine cooling system. Using a mixture or brand other than recommended may damage the cooling system components. Refer to “Section 1 - General” in this manual • Engine coolant is poisonous. Do not ingest or allow animals to ingest engine coolant. Always dispose of engine coolant properly to avoid harming the environment. CATALYTIC CONVERTER / EXHAUST SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS WARNING: • Engine emits deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which will cause asphyxiation in enclosed areas. Always make sure the work area is well ventilated. • Fire/Burn Hazard–Exhaust system components become extremely hot. Always allow sufficient cool ing time before working with exhaust components and never park over flammable material. Severe burns will occur if skin contact is made with hot exhaust system components. • Do not allow large quantities of unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter (i.e. from improperly performed compression test). The catalytic converter and other emission components are easily damaged by unused fuel. • Use only UNLEADED fuel in petrol vehicles. Damage to the catalytic converter and/or emission components will occur if the proper fuel is not used in the vehicle. • Do not run the vehicle with a low fuel level. Damage to the catalytic converter may occur if the engine misfires.
