away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
•  Never leave rags, towels, or other lammable objects under the hood.
•  To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not  gasoline.

compressed air.
•  Do not run the engine in conined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can 
accumulate.

brake set and the engine off.
•  Be aware that hot parts can burn you. •  Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
