 Always wear heavy-duty footwear and overalls.
 Never wear loose, flapping garments, rings, bracelets and/or neck-
laces in the vicinity of engines or moving parts.
 Always wear protective gloves and goggles when:
• filling up batteries with acid solution

used to clean is 200 kPa (2 bar, 30 psi, 2 kg/cm

suspended loads or systems installed at head-height.
