DANGER
- It is dangerous to get under a jacked-up
vehicle. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could
be crushed. Never place any part of your body under a vehicle that is on
a jack. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack. If
you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.
WARNING
- Hot oil can cause severe burns. Use extreme
care when removing lubrication plugs and when working close to a unit
that has been in operation.
- Check lube level between scheduled lube changes
to insure that proper lube level is maintained. Inspect vent plug to
insure it is clean and operating. Inspect the tightness of mounting
bolts, misalignment of connecting shafts, lube leakage, excessive
heating, or any unusual noise or vibration.

of improperly performed maintenance, adjustments or repairs.
- Do not attempt any of the maintenance, checks
or repairs described on the following pages if you are not fully
familiar with these or other procedures with respect to the

work done by a properly equipped and qualified workshop.
- Always be extremely careful when working on the
transmission. Always follow commonly accepted safety practices and
general common sense. Never risk personal injury.
CAUTION
- Do not operate the transmission or ring and
pinion without proper lube and correct amount.
- For safe operation and to maintain the unit
warranty, when changing a
factory installed fastener for any reason, it becomes the responsibility
of
the person making the change to properly account for fastener grade,
thread engagement, load, tightening torque and the means of torque
retention.

to ensure that the unit is
firmly anchored for proper operation.
