Safety information
Hot oil can cause burn injuries. Avoid skin con-
tact with hot oil. Make sure that the oil system is
not pressurised before working on it. Never
start, or run the engine with the oil filler cap re-
moved due to the risk of ejecting oil.
Stop the engine and close the bottom valve be-
fore working on the cooling system.
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area.
Exhaust fumes and crankcase gases should be
bled out of the engine compartment or work-
shop when working in closed environments.
Always use protective glasses for work where
there is a risk of splintering, sparks, or splash-
ing of acid or other chemicals. The eyes are ex-
tremely sensitive, and an injury could cause
blindness!
Avoid skin contact with oil! Prolonged or fre-
quent skin contact with oil can degrease the
skin, resulting in irritation, drying out, eczema,
and other skin complaints. Used oil is more
dangerous than new oil from a health care point
of view. Use protective gloves and avoid oil-
drenched clothes and rags. Wash your hands
regularly, especially before meals. Use special
hand cream to counteract drying out, and to
simplify cleaning the skin.
The majority of chemicals intended for the prod-
uct (e.g. engine and timing gear oils, glycol,
petrol and diesel oil) or chemicals for workshop
use (e.g. degreasing agent, enamels and sol-
vents) are hazardous to health. Read the in-
structions on the pack carefully. Always follow
the given safety instructions (e.g. the use of
breathing protection, protective glasses, or
gloves, etc.) Make sure that other personnel are
not exposed to hazardous substances, e.g. by
inhaling the air. Make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Handle consumed and surplus
chemicals in the prescribed manner.
Observe extreme caution when tracing fuel
leaks in fuel systems and when testing fuel noz-
zles. Wear protective glasses. The jet from a
fuel nozzle has a very high pressure and pene-
trating force. The fuel can penetrate deeply into
bodily tissue and cause serious injury. Risk of
blood poisoning.

All fuels, as well as many chemicals, are inflam-
mable. Make sure no naked flames or sparks
can cause ignition. Petrol, certain thinners, and
hydrogen from batteries are extremely inflam-
mable and explosive when mixed with air.
Smoking is prohibited! Ventilate well and take
the necessary precautions before welding or
grinding in the immediate vicinity. Always have
a fire extinguisher handy in the workshop.
Make sure that rags drenched in oil and petrol,
including old fuel and lubricant filters, are stored
safety. Oil drenched rags can in certain condi-
tions self-ignite. Old fuel and oil filters are envi-
ronmentally hazardous waste, and together with
spent lubricant, contaminated fuel, paint resi-
due, solvent, degreasing agent and suds,
should be handed in to a waste-handling unit for
destruction.
Batteries must never be exposed to naked
flames or electrical sparks. Never smoke in the
vicinity of batteries. Hydrogen develops when
batteries are charged, which in combination
with air forms an explosive gas. This gas is
highly inflammable and very explosive. One
spark from connecting the batteries incorrectly
is sufficient to cause the battery to explode and
cause injury. Do not touch the connection when
starting (risk of spark) and do not lean over the
batteries.
Never confuse the plus and minus terminals
when fitting the batteries. This can cause seri-
ous damage to the electrical equipment. Check
the wiring diagram.
Always use protective glasses when charging
and handling batteries. The battery electrolyte
contains strongly corrosive sulphuric acid. Upon
contact with the skin, wash with soap and plen-
ty of water. If battery acid gets into the eyes,
rinse immediately with water, and contact a
doctor without delay.
Stop the engine and turn off the power with the
main switch (switches) before working on the
electrical system.
The clutch should be adjusted when the engine
is idle.
