Protect your skin
CAUTION!
Risk of skin damage.
Avoid getting oil on your skin! Prolonged or repeated
exposure to oil can dry out the skin. Thereafter,
irritation, dryness and eczema and other skin problems
may occur.
Use protective gloves and avoid oil-soaked clothes
and rags. Wash regularly, especially before eating.
Wear suitable protective creams to prevent skin from
drying out and to facilitate cleaning.
Fire safety
WARNING!
Fire and Explosion Risk!
Accidental spark could ignite fuel vapors.
All fuels – as well as many lubricants and chemicals –
are flammable. Do not allow open flames or sparks
near them. Smoking forbidden! Hydrogen from the
batteries is also very flammable and explosive in
certain mixture with air.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated and take
the necessary precautions before welding or grinding
begins. Always ensure that there is a fire extinguisher
close at hand in the work area.
Spare parts — safety
WARNING!
Always use spare parts with the same quality as
genuine Volvo Penta parts to minimize the risk of an
explosion or fire.
Components in fuel systems and electrical systems on
Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufactured
to minimize the risk of explosions and fire, in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Used oils, filters and chemicals etc.
WARNING!
Risk of fire.
Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable material
so that there is no danger of them catching fire.
Oil-soaked rags can spontaneously ignite under
certain circumstances.
IMPORTANT:
Used fuel and oil filters are environmentally hazardous
waste and must be taken to an approved waste
management facility for correct handling, as must any
used lubricating oil, contaminated fuel, paint residue,
solvents, degreasers and wash residue.
