IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all
motor vehicles. The service procedures recommended by Detroit Diesel
Allison and described in this service manual are effective methods for
performing service operations. Some of these service operations require
the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools
should be used when and as recommended.
It is important to note that some warnings against the use of specific
service methods that can damage the vehicle or render it unsafe are stated
in this service manual. It is also important to understand these warnings
are not exhaustive. Detroit Diesel Allison could not possibly know,
evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which
service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each
way. Consequently, Detroit Diesel Allison has not undertaken any such
broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure or
tool which is not recommended by Detroit Diesel Allison must first satisfy
himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor vehicle safety will be
jeopardized by the service method he selects.
