Safety rules
Don’t smoke while you’re working on your car — for obvious reasons!
Never work on your vehicle unless the
parking brake
is on, the
gearshift
is in Park or Neutral, and the engine is shut off.
Be sure that the parts of the engine you’re working on are cool so
that you don’t get burned. If you’re doing a job that calls for a warm
engine, be very careful.
Never jack a vehicle up unless the wheels are blocked.
Use insulated tools for electrical work.
Before using a wrench or
ratchet
on a part that’s stuck.
Pull on
wrenches rather than push them whenever possible.
Take off your tie, scarf, rings, long necklaces, and other jewelry. If
they get caught on parts, they and you can be damaged.
Tie back long hair. If your hair accidentally gets caught in a moving
fan or belt, you can literally be scalped.
If you’re working with toxic chemicals, such as
coolant,
cleaners, and
the like, keep them away from your mouth and eyes. Wash your
hands thoroughly after using them, and either store toxic chemicals
safely away from pets and children.
Know that gasoline is extremely dangerous. Not only because it is
toxic and flammable, but the vapor in an
empty
can is explosive
enough to take out a city block. If you must keep a small amount of
gasoline on hand for a chain saw, always store it in a ventilated
gasoline can designed specifically for that purpose.
Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing in carbon monoxide
if you have to run the engine, or breathing in toxic fumes from
chemicals and gasoline. If possible, work outdoors. If you must work
in your garage, be sure to keep the garage door open and move the
vehicle as close to the door as possible.
Use a work light in dark areas.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.

How to Use a Jack Safely
The most obvious reason to jack up a car is to change a tire, but
other jobs such as inspecting brakes may also require you to get under
the vehicle. (Even if you’re skinny enough to squeeze yourself between
the pavement and the underside of your car, you still need room to
move around and manipulate tools.)
Before
you attempt to jack up your vehicle, observe the following
safety precautions:
Jacks are used only to get a vehicle off the ground. They
should never be used to hold a vehicle in place.
You must use jack stands when you work underneath your
vehicle. If you don’t, you run the risk of serious injury or even
death. People have been crushed to death when vehicles that were
improperly secured fell on them.
Never jack up a vehicle without blocking the wheels to keep
it from rolling. Use bricks, wooden wedges, or metal wheel chocks
to block the wheels at the opposite end of the car from the end that is
to be raised.
If you find yourself faced with the job of changing a tire and you have
nothing with which to block the wheels, park near the curb with the
wheels turned in. This may not keep you from getting hurt if the car
rolls off the jack.
Never change a tire on a freeway or highway. Not only can you
be seriously injured, but you can also fall prey to carjackers.
Don’t
exit the
vehicle;
instead use a cellphone to call road service or an
automobile association. If you don’t have a cellphone, hang a white
rag or a white piece of paper out of the driver’s side window and wait
for the highway patrol to rescue you.
Even if you hate cellphones, I recommend that you buy one and keep
it in the vehicle for emergencies. You can find a very affordable model
that just lets you call 911, road service, and those you’d want to notify
in an emergency. It could save your life.
Always park a vehicle on level ground before you jack it up. If
you get a flat tire on a hill and, park close to the curb, turn the
wheels toward the curb, and block the downside wheels securely to
prevent the car from rolling.
These precautions won’t eliminate the risk of changing a tire on an
incline. If you can’t get to level ground or wait for assistance, you
change the tire at your own risk.
Be sure that your gearshift is in Park (or in First if you have
a manual transmission) and that the parking brake is on
before you jack up the vehicle. The only time you don’t need the
parking brake on is when you have to be able to rotate a
rear
wheel
or remove rear
brake drums
to inspect the brakes. In such a case,
make sure that the front wheels are blocked
securely.
If you remove a wheel and begin to work without making sure that
you jacked up the car and blocked it securely, the vehicle can do a lot of
damage to itself and to you if it falls.

Read and translate the following text into Russian.
STEPS TO JACK UP THE VEHICLE
1. If you’re going to remove a wheel to change a tire or check your brakes,
remove the wheel cover or hubcap (if there is one) and loosen the lug nuts.
2. Place the jack under the part of the vehicle that it should contact when
raised. If you’re using jack stands, place them near the jack.
Where you place your jack depends on whether you’re planning to do a one-wheel
job, such as tire changing or brake checking, or a two-wheel, whole-end repair job.
Many vehicles now have special flat spots on the underside specifically for jack
placement.
Never place the jack so that the weight of the vehicle rests on something that can
bend, break, or give.
3. Lift the vehicle by using the jack. How you accomplish this depends on the
type of jack you’re using (see Figure 1-1):
• If you have a scissor jack, insert the rod or wrench over the knob, and then crank.
If you have a hydraulic jack, place the handle into the appropriate location and
pump up and down.
4. Place the jack stands under the vehicle, near where the jack is touching it
(see Figure 1-2). Raise the stands until they’re high enough to just fit under,
and lock them in place. Lower the jack until the vehicle is resting on the jack
stands.
Substituting boxes, stones, or bricks for jack stands is very dangerous.
They can slip out or break while you’re under the car. A jack can do the same
thing, so be sure to buy a pair of jack stands and stow them in the trunk if you’re
traveling out of reach of help if you get a flat tire.
5. Before you begin to work, wiggle the vehicle a little to make sure that it’s
resting securely on the jack stands. Then remove the jack.
6. When you’re finished working, replace the jack, remove the stands, and
lower the vehicle to the ground.
