2. When a vehicle is brought in for maintenance, carefully listen to the owner's explanations of the symptoms exhibited by the vehicle. List the problems in your notebook, and refer to them when trying to diagnose the trouble.
3. All jewelry should be removed. Suitable work clothes should be worn.
4. Be sure to wear goggles.
5. Use tender, floor and seat covers to prevent the vehicle from being scratched or damaged.
6. Never smoke while working.
