USE OF GUIDE

Shop times listed in this MOTOR Labor Guide Manual are published in an attempt to provide meaningful data to automotive service professionals and their customers. Shop times herein, are not intended for use as the actual time required to perform all operations in all instances. Actual times will vary, of course, due to such factors as the skill and/or motivation of the technician, working conditions, tools available and the condition of the vehicle. Care must be taken to avoid misunderstanding the information published. Accordingly, read carefully the indications of which operations are and are not included in the time listed in this Guide.

The recommended times for the repairs described in this publication with respect to Ford and Lincoln-Mercury branded products are not solely based upon time studies conducted by Ford Motor Company.

Accordingly, the recommended repair times specified in this publication are designed for after-market repairs only.

It is important to note that the repair proce­dures and techniques, tools and parts for servicing motor vehicles, as well as the skill and experience of the individual performing the work vary widely. It is not possible to anticipate all of the conceivable ways or conditions under which vehicles may be serviced, or to provide cautions as to all of the possi­ble hazards that may result. Standard and accepted safety precautions and equipment should be used when handling toxic or flammable fluids, and safety glasses or other protections should be used during cutting, grinding, chiseling, or any other process that can cause material removal or projectiles.
