WARNING: Frame rail crush zones absorb crash energy during a collision and must be replaced if damaged. Straighten damaged frame rails
to correct frame dimensions prior to frame member sectioning. Failure to follow these instructions may adversely affect frame rail performance
and may result in serious personal injury to vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING: Invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted in welding can injure unprotected eyes and skin. Always use protection such as a
welder's helmet with dark-colored filter lenses of the correct density. Electric welding will produce intense radiation, therefore, filter plate
lenses of the deepest shade providing adequate visibility are recommended. It is strongly recommended that persons working in the weld area
wear flash safety goggles. Also wear protective clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always wear protective equipment including eye protection with side shields, and a dust mask when sanding or grinding. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Observe prescribed welding procedures when carrying out repairs to the frame assembly. For additional information, refer to Welding
Precautions - Steel .
