WARNING
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING: Dust and dirt accumulating on brake parts during normal use may contain asbestos fibers from
production or aftermarket linings. Breathing excessive concentrations of asbestos fibers can cause serious
bodily harm. Exercise care when servicing brake parts. Do not sand, or grind brake lining unless equipment
used is designed to contain the dust residue. Do not clean brake parts with compressed air or by dry
brushing. Cleaning should be done by dampening the brake components with a fine mist of water, then
wiping the brake components clean with a dampened cloth. Dispose of cloth and all residue containing
asbestos fibers in an impermeable container with the appropriate label. Follow practices prescribed by the
Occupational Safety And Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
the handling, processing, and disposition of dust or debris that may contain asbestos fibers.

CAUTION: Only frame contact or wheel lift hoisting equipment can be used on this vehicle. It cannot be
hoisted using equipment designed to lift a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting equipment is
used, damage to rear suspension components will occur.
CAUTION: All-Wheel-Drive only - Wheel bearing damage will result if after loosening the hub nut, the vehicle
is rolled on the ground or the weight of the vehicle is allowed to be supported by the tires for a length of
time.
NOTE: If a rear suspension component becomes bent, damaged or fails, no attempt should be made to
straighten or repair it. Always replace it with a new component.
