procedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do

becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry or loose

entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while work-
ing under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (espe-
cially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose cloth-
ing before getting near the
