Safety rules

Carbon monoxide
If you need to keep the engine running in order to carry out any procedure, please ensure that you do
so in an open or very well ventilated area. Never let the engine run in an enclosed area. If you do work
in an enclosed area, make sure to use a smoke-extraction system.
CAUTION
EXHAUST EMISSIONS CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, A POISONOUS GAS WHICH CAN CAUSE
LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH.
Fuel
CAUTION
FUEL USED TO POWER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND CAN
BECOME EXPLOSIVE UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED TO
CARRY OUT REFUELLING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES IN A VENTILATED AREA WITH
THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. DO NOT SMOKE DURING REFUELLING AND NEAR FUEL VA-
POURS, AVOIDING ANY CONTACT WITH NAKED FLAMES, SPARKS OR OTHER SOURCES
WHICH MAY CAUSE THEM TO IGNITE OR EXPLODE.
DO NOT DISPERSE FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
Hot components
The engine and the exhaust system components get very hot and remain in this condition for a certain
time interval after the engine has been shut off. Before handling these components, make sure that you
are wearing insulating gloves or wait until the engine and the exhaust system have cooled down.
Coolant
The coolant contains ethylene glycol which, under certain conditions, can become flammable.
When it burns, ethylene glycol produces an invisible flame which however can cause burns.
CAUTION
PAY ATTENTION NOT TO POUR COOLANT ON HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPO-
NENTS; IT MAY CATCH FIRE PRODUCING INVISIBLE FLAMES. IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR
LATEX GLOVES WHEN SERVICING THE VEHICLE. EVEN IF IT IS TOXIC, THE COOLANT HAS A
SWEET FLAVOUR WHICH MAKES IT VERY ATTRACTIVE TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE THE
COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS IN AREAS ACCESSIBLE TO ANIMALS AS THEY MAY DRINK
IT.
