General Safety During Operating Phases; Safety And Environmental Impact - Kohler KD 625/2 Workshop Manual

. Take care when removing the oil filter as it may be hot.
. The operations of checking, filling up and replacing the
cooling liquid must be carried out with the engine turned off
and cold. Take particular care if liquids containing nitrites
are mixed with others not containing these compounds
as this may give rise to the formation of nitrosamines
which are a health hazard. The cooling liquid is polluting,
so dispose of in a manner that does not damage the
environment.
. In order to move the engine simultaneously use the
eyebolts fitted for this purpose by Kohler. These lifting
points are however not suitable for the entire machine, so
in this case use the eyebolts fitted by the manufacturer.

special tools designed by the Manufacturer of the engine.
– All tools must be in good working condition so that engine
components are not damaged and that operations are
carried out properly and safely.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Every organisation has a duty to implement procedures to identify,
assess and monitor the influence of its own activities (products,
services, etc.) on the environment.
Procedures for identifying the extent of the impact on the envi-
ronment must consider the following factors:
- Liquid waste;
- Waste management;
- Soil contamination;
- Atmospheric emissions;
- Use of raw materials and natural resources;
- Regulations and directives regarding environmental impact.

one operator. If so, it is important to inform and train them
regarding the type of activity they will be performing in
order to prevent risks to the health and safety of all persons
involved.

degrease or wash components. Use special products.

Do not mix different brands or combine oils with different
characteristics.

performance guaranteed by the manufacturer.
In order to minimise the impact on the environment, the manufacturer
now provides a number of indications to be followed by all persons
handling the engine, for any reason, during its expected lifetime.
- All packaging components must be disposed of in accordance
with the laws of the country in which disposal is taking place.
- Keep the fuel and engine control systems and the exhaust
pipes in efficient working order to limit environmental and noise
