If engine is running, keep your clothing, tools, hair and hands away from moving parts.
Even when the ignition key is turned off and positioned to LOCK, electrical fan can be
operated while working on near around electrical fan or radiator grille if air conditioner
or coolant temperature rises.
Every oil can cause skin trouble. Immediately wash out with soap if contacted.
