1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
}
Fuel
Diesel fuel is an extremely
flammable liquid, and must not be
exposed to naked flames or come
into contact with hot surfaces. The
diesel fuel fumes remaining in an
empty fuel tank form an extremely
explosive mixture.
When fuel system components are being
removed, some fuel will escape.
To keep this spillage to a minimum, unscrew the
tank cap to release any overpressure.
Any spilled fuel must be collected, bearing in
mind the risk of fire.
Exhaust gases
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or
unventilated area.
Make sure exhaust fumes are properly extracted.
}
Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a deadly
colourless and odourless gas,
which, when inhaled, deprives the
body of oxygen, leading to
asphyxiation. Serious carbon
monoxide poisoning may result in
brain damage or death.
Moving parts
Remain at a safe distance from rotating and/or
moving components.
Various fluids
Various oils and lubricants used on the vehicle
may constitute a health hazard.
This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen
washer fluid, refrigerant in air-conditioning
systems, battery acid and clutch fluid.
So avoid inhaling and direct contact.
Electrical short-circuit
Always disconnect the battery's earth connection
during repair or maintenance operations for
which the electric power supply is not required.
