Vehicle Damage Warnings


WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited, resulting in possible personal injury.

- Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running.

- Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved.

- The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut OFF prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.

CAUTION:
- Remove the fuel pump prior to steaming the fuel tank. Care should be exercised not to deform the plastic reservoir inside the tank with excessively hot steam or direct contact with plastic surface.

- There is NO acceptable repair procedure for Polyethylene fuel tanks that meets fuel tank standards. This includes all portions of the fuel tank body and plastic fittings attached to it. Fuel tank replacement is the ONLY acceptable procedure.
