GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following general
precautions should be observed at all times:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking
brakes, and always block the wheels. Always wear safety
glasses. Where specically directed, the parking brakes
may have to be released, and/or spring brakes caged,
and this will require that the vehicle be prevented from
moving by other means for the duration of these tests/
procedures.
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 a Bendix®AD-IS®air dryer system or a dryer
reservoir module, be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
5. Following the vehicle manufacturer’s 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®brand replacement parts,
components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing,
hose, fittings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type
and strength as original equipment and be designed
specically 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
specically 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 Automatic 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.
