LIST OF WARNINGS This manual contains the following Warnings — IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM. If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running, the vehicle can move suddenly and you or others could be injured. If you must leave the engine running, do not leave the vehicle until you: • Put the transmission in N (Neutral)…and • Apply the parking brake and emergency brakes and make sure they are properly engaged…and • Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving. Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump when draining transmission fluid. Direct contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump may result in bodily injury. DO NOT conduct a converter stall test until the following actions are taken. The parking brake and/or emergency brakes must be set and properly engaged and the wheels must be chocked. Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path. Failure to do so can cause serious injury. Use appropriate safety equipment such as safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves. Do not burn discarded Teflon ® seals; toxic gases are produced by burning Teflon ® . Never dry bearings by spinning them with compressed air. A spinning bearing can disintegrate, allowing balls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Also, spinning a bearing without lubrication can damage the bearing. DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic fluid line between the accumulator and the retarder until air and hydraulic pressure have been bled from the retarder.
