Moving Parts
Do not touch or let your clothing get caught in the moving parts of the
engine, such as the front drive shaft, V-belt or propeller shaft, during en-
gine operation. You will be injured.
Never operate the engine without covers on the moving parts.
Burns
The whole engine is hot during operation and immediately after
shut-down. The exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe and high pressure fuel
lines are very hot. Never touch these parts with your body or clothing.
Alcohol
Never operate the engine while you are under the influence of alcohol.
Never operate the engine when you are ill or not feeling well.
Battery Fluid
Battery fluid is dilute sulphuric acid. It can blind you if it gets in your
eyes, or burn your skin. Keep the fluid away from your body.
If you touch it, wash it off immediately with a large quantity of fresh wa-
ter and call your doctor for treatment.
Fire by Electric Short-Circuits
Always turn off the battery switch before inspecting the electrical sys-
tem.
Failure to do so could cause short-circuiting and fires.
Stop the engine before you service it.
Turn the battery switch off. If you must inspect while the engine is in op-
eration, never touch moving parts. Keep your body and clothing well
clear of all moving parts.
