2.
Stop the engine and remove ignition key when
working under or around the vehicle. When
working in the engine compartment, the engine
should be shut off and the ignition key should
be removed. Where circumstances require that
the engine be in operation, EXTREME CAUTION
should be used to prevent personal injury
resulting from contact with moving, rotating,
leaking, heated or electrically charged
components.
3.
Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble
or assemble a component until you have read
and thoroughly understand the recommended
procedures. Use only the proper tools and
observe all precautions pertaining to use of those
tools.
4.
If the work is being performed on the vehicle's
air brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized
air systems, make certain to drain the air
pressure from all reservoirs before beginning
ANY work on the vehicle. If the vehicle is
equipped with an AD-IS
dryer reservoir module, be sure to drain the
purge reservoir.
5.
Following
the
recommended procedures, deactivate the
electrical system in a manner that safely
removes all electrical power from the vehicle.
6.
Never exceed manufacturer's recommended
pressures.
7.
Never connect or disconnect a hose or line
containing pressure; it may whip. Never remove
a component or plug unless you are certain all
system pressure has been depleted.
8.
Use only genuine Bendix
components and kits. Replacement hardware,
tubing, hose, fittings, etc. must be of equivalent
size, type and strength as original equipment
and be designed specifically for such
applications and systems.
9.
Components with stripped threads or damaged
parts should be replaced rather than repaired.
Do not attempt repairs requiring machining or
welding unless specifically stated and approved
by the vehicle and component manufacturer.
10.
Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make
certain all components and systems are restored
to their proper operating condition.
11.
For vehicles with Antilock Traction Control (ATC),
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any
vehicle maintenance where one or more wheels
on a drive axle are lifted off the ground and
moving.
