Caution: Provide additional support when a vehicle is on a hoist in the following
ways:
• Before removing parts, support the opposite end. This helps prevent
the vehicle from slipping off. • Before removing major components, chain the vehicle frame to the
hoist pads at the same end as the removal. This helps avoid a tip-off.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
