WARNING

PRECAUTIONARY DATA

Personnel performing operations, procedures, and practices which are included or

implied in this technical manual shall observe the following warnings. Disregard of

these warnings and precautionary information can cause serious injury, death, or

destruction of material.

Do not operate the towing tractor while air pressure warning buzzer is sounding. This

buzzer denotes insufficient air pressure for braking.

OPERATION. If operating the towing tractor in an enclosed building, ensure exhaust

gases are sufficiently ventilated. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which is a

colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas.

USING TOXIC/FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Due to the toxicity and flammability of

the solvents and solutions used in the cleaning procedures, adequate ventilation must

be provided. Avoid prolonged contact with solutions and chemicals. Do not use

drycleaning solvent or flammable cleaners near an open flame or in areas where very

high temperature prevail.

FUELS. When handling gasoline, always provide a metal-to-metal contact between the

container and tank. This will prevent a spark from being generated as gasoline flows

over the metal surfaces.

MAINTENANCE. Prior to performing maintenance on the electrical system, ensure the

battery is disconnected.
