Dangerous emissions
The engine must be kept running for certain
maintenance procedures. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide, a highly toxic gas which may
even cause death in the event of prolonged
inhalation.
The emissions control devices installed were
necessary in order for the vehicle to obtain type
approval allowing the vehicle to be driven legally
on public roads in compliance with emissions and
noise legislation. Removing or tampering with
these devices is prohibited by law.
Each of these devices bears a marking or label
indicating the type approval number obtained.
As the battery is charged, gases are released which
are potentially explosive in the event of contact
with sparks or naked flame.
The battery also contains sulphuric acid as an
electrolyte, which may cause irritation in the event
of skin contact.
