Danger of acid burning

Acids and alkalis can cause severe burning
on unprotected skin. Hydrogen fluoride in
combination with moisture (water) forms
hydrofluoric acid. The condensate, which
accumulates in the sampling hose and in the
condensate container likewise contains acid.
Rules of conduct:
¶
Rinse any affected parts of the skin immediately in
water, then consult a doctor!
If fluid (electrolyte) escapes from batteries
and rechargeable batteries, avoid getting it
on your skin or in your eyes.
Rules of conduct:
¶
If contact with skin or eyes happens nevertheless,
wash the affected parts immediately with clean
water and then consult a doctor.

Danger of injury, Danger of crushing

If the vehicle is not prevented from rolling
away, there is a danger of people being
crushed against a workbench, for example.
The vehicle has rotating and moving parts
that can injure fingers and arms.
There is the risk with electrically operated
fans in particular that the fan can start
running unexpectedly even when the engine
and ignition are off.
Safety precautions:
¶
Take steps to prevent the vehicle from rolling away
while it is being tested. Select the park position
if the vehicle has an automatic transmission and
apply the handbrake or lock the wheels with
chocks (wedges).
¶
Deactivate the start/stop system when working on a
vehicle in order to prevent uncontrolled engine start.
¶
Operating staff must wear work clothes without
loose bands and loops.

¶
When working on or in the vicinity of electrically
driven fans, allow the engine to cool down first,
then disconnect the plug of the fan motor.

parts.
¶
Transport and operate the equipment only in
accordance with the operating instructions.

Danger of burning

When working on a hot engine, there is a risk
of injury from burning if such components
as the exhaust gas manifold, the turbo-
charger, the Lambda sensor, etc. are touched
or if parts of the body come too close to
them. These components may be heated to
temperatures of several hundred degrees
Celsius. Depending on the duration of the
exhaust gas measurements, the sampling
probe of the exhaust gas measuring
instrument may also become extremely hot.
Safety measures:
¶
Always wear protective clothing, e.g. gloves.
¶
Allow the engine to cool down first. This also
applies to auxiliary heating systems.
¶
Keep connecting cables well away from all hot parts.
¶
Do not leave the engine running any longer than
necessary for the test or setting.

Always ensure effective ventilation and suction
when working in closed areas.

Care required when using tools that these do not
cause any short circuits. Always disconnect the
negative connection first from the battery.
