Safety precautions

Always use protective glasses or goggles when

carrying out work where there is a risk of splin-

ters, grinding sparks, acid splashes or where

other chemicals are used. The eyes are ex-

tremely sensitive, an injury could result in blind-

ness!

Avoid getting oil on the skin! Repeated expo-

sure to oil or exposure over a long period can

result in the skin becoming dry. Irritation, dry-

ness and eczema and other skin problems can

then occur. Used oil is more dangerous than

fresh oil from a health aspect. Use protective

gloves and avoid oil soaked clothes and shop

rags. Wash regularly, especially before eating.

There are special skin creams which counteract

drying out of the skin and make it easier to

clean off dirt after work is completed.

Many chemicals used on the product (for exam-

ple engine and transmission oils, glycol, gaso-

line and diesel oil), or chemicals used in the

workshop (for example degreasing agents, paint

and solvents) are dangerous to health. Read the

instructions on the product packaging carefully!

Always follow the safety precautions for the

product (for example use of protective mask,

glasses, gloves etc.). Make sure that other per-

sonnel are not exposed to hazardous chemi-

cals, for example in the air. Ensure good venti-

lation in the work place. Follow the instructions

provided when disposing of used or leftover

chemicals.

Excercise extreme care when leak detecting on

the fuel system and testing the fuel injector

jets. Use eye protection. The jet from a fuel in-

jector nozzle is under extremely high pressure

and has great penetrative energy, so the fuel

can penetrate deep into the body tissue and

cause serious personal injury. Danger of blood

poisoning.

All fuels and many chemical substances are

flammable. Do not allow naked flame or sparks

in the vicinity. Fuel, certain thinner products

and hydrogen from batteries can be extremely

flammable and explosive when mixed with air.

Smoking is not to be permitted in the vicinity!

Ensure that the work area is well ventilated and

take the necessary safety precautions before

starting welding or grinding work. Always en-

sure that there are fire extinguishers at hand

when work is being carried out.

Ensure that rags soaked in oil or fuel and used

fuel or oil filters are stored safely. Rags soaked

in oil can spontaneously ignite under certain cir-

cumstances. Used fuel and oil filters are envi-

ronmentally dangerous waste and must be de-

posited at an approved site for destruction to-

gether with used lubricating oil, contaminated

fuel, paint remnants, solvent, degreasing

agents and waste from washing parts.

Never expose a battery to naked flame or elec-

trical sparks. Never smoke in proximity to the

batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas

during charging which when mixed with air can

form an explosive gas - oxyhydrogen. This gas

is easily ignited and highly volatile. Incorrect

connection of the battery can cause a single

spark which is sufficient to cause an explosion

with resulting damage. Do not shift the connec-

tions when attempting to start the engine (spark

risk) and do not lean over any of the batteries.

Always ensure that the Plus (positive) and Mi-

nus (negative) battery leads are correctly in-

stalled on the corresponding terminal posts on

the batteries. Incorrect installation can result in

serious damage to the electrical equipment. Re-

fer to the wiring diagrams.

Always use protective goggles when charging

and handling the batteries. Battery electrolyte

contains sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive.

Should the battery electrolyte come into con-

tact with unprotected skin wash off immediately

using plenty of water and soap. If battery acid

comes in contact with the eyes, immediately

flush with plenty of water and obtain medical

assistance at once.

Turn the engine off and turn off the power at the

main switch(es) before carrying out work on the

electrical system.

Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the

engine stopped.
