Risk Of Sparking; Engine Repairs - Husqvarna PT26D Workshop Manual

Risk of sparking

Sparking can occur when working with the
battery and the thick cables in the starter
motor circuit.
This may cause the battery to explode, fire or
eye injuries.
Sparking in the circuit can not occur once the
battery's power connection cable (usually the
black negative cable) has been disconnected.
Avoid sparking and its consequences by:
• Wearing protective glasses.
• Make sure that the fuel cap is fitted and
that no flammable liquids are stored in an
open container.
• Do not work on the starter motor circuit in
the vicinity of spilt fuel.
• Disconnect the battery's power connec-
tion cable (usually the black negative
cable) first and connect it last.
• Exercise care with tools so that short
circuiting does not occur.
• Do not short circuit across the starter
relay's connections to run the starter
motor.

Engine repairs

• Immediately consult a doctor if the skin
comes into contact with fuel, which is
under high pressure.
• The combustible material in some of the
engine's components (e.g. certain seals)
can be very dangerous if ignited. Never
allow burnt material to come into contact
with skin or eyes.
• Do not turn over the engine by hand with-
out preventing the engine from starting,
which can be done in different ways:
a. Remove the glow plugs, no compres-
sion, engine easier to turn.
b. Loosen one pressure pipe connection
on every diffuser pipe by ½ a turn.
c. Secure the injection pump stop arm in
position for zero supply.
• Allow the machine to cool before taking
any actions in the engine room.
