1.3. Instructions and safety regulations THESE SAFETY GUIDELINES ARE IMPORTANT If you do not understand or have any questions about any point in this manual, contact your dealer who will explain it to you or give you a demonstration. A list of risks and precautionary measures to take follows. You should also refer to any local and national regulations that apply in accordance with your own jurisdiction.
Spreading of waste water, sludge and waste is prohibited. The fuels to be used must correspond to those featured in the declaration file and the specifications recommended by the combustion device manufacturer. The fuel is considered to remain in the same physical state as when it is introduced into the combustion chamber. Burning of waste in the open air is prohibited.
1.3.4 Risk of fire, burns and explosion The engine should not be operated in environments containing explosive products. As not all of the electrical and mechanical components are shielded, there is a risk of sparks forming. Danger Make sure not to create sparks or flames, and not to smoke near the batteries, as the electrolyte gases are highly flammable (especially if the battery is charging).
Protection against electric shocks is ensured by an assembly of specific equipment. If this needs to be replaced, it should be by components with identical nominal values and specifications. If the protective plates (blanking covers) need to be removed to route cables, the protector (blanking cover) must be refitted when the operations are finished.
