Avoid skin contact with oil. Long-term or repeated
contact with oil can remove the natural oils from
your skin. The result can be irritation, dry skin,
eczema and other skin problems. Used oil is
more dangerous to health than new oil. Use pro-
tective gloves and avoid using oil-soaked clothes
and rags. Wash regularly, especially before me-
als. Use the correct barrier cream to prevent dry
skin and to make cleaning your skin easier.
Most chemicals used in products (engine and
transmission oils, glycol, petrol and diesel oil)
and workshop chemicals (solvents and paints)
are hazardous to health Read the instructions on
the product packaging carefully! Always follow
safety instructions (using breathing apparatus,
protective goggles and gloves for example). En-
sure that other personnel are not unwittingly ex-
posed to hazardous substances (by breathing
them in for example). Ensure that ventilation is
good. Handle used and excess chemicals accor-
ding to instructions.
Be extremely careful when tracing leaks in the
fuel system and testing fuel injection nozzles.
Use protective goggles! The jet ejected from a
fuel injection nozzle is under very high pressure,
it can penetrate body tissue and cause serious
injury There is a danger of blood poisoning.
All fuels and many chemicals are inflammable.
Ensure that a naked flame or sparks cannot igni-
te fuel or chemicals. Combined with air in certain
ratios, petrol, some solvents and hydrogen from
batteries are easily inflammable and explosive.
Smoking is prohibited! Ensure that ventilation is
good and that the necessary safety precautions
have been taken before carrying out welding or
grinding work. Always have a fire extinguisher to
hand in the workplace.
Store oil and fuel-soaked rags and fuel and oil filt-
ers safely. In certain conditions oil-soaked rags
can spontaneously ignite. Replaced fuel and oil
filters are environmentally harmful waste and
should be disposed of at proper disposal areas
together with engine and transmission oil, conta-
minated fuel, old paint, degreasing agents, and
cleaning residue.
Never allow a naked flame or electric sparks near
the batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the
batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas
during charging which when mixed with air can
form an explosive gas - oxyhydrogen. This gas is
easily ignited and highly volatile. Incorrect con-
nection of the battery can cause a spark which is
sufficient to cause an explosion with resulting da-
mage. Do not disturb battery connections when
starting the engine (spark risk) and do not lean
over batteries.
Never interfere with the terminals when the sys-
tem is operative. A high energy pulse may be ge-
nerated which will damage the electrical system.
Never mix up the positive and negative battery
terminals when installing. Incorrect installation
can result in serious damage to electrical equip-
ment. Refer to wiring diagrams.
Always use protective goggles when charging
and handling batteries. The battery electrolyte
contains extremely corrosive sulfuric acid. If this
comes into contact with the skin, wash immedia-
tely with soap and plenty of water. If battery acid
comes into contact with the eyes, immediately
flush with copious amounts of water and obtain
medical assistance.
Turn off the engine and turn off power at main
switch(es) before carrying out work on the electri-
cal system.
Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the
engine turned off.
Use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine when
lifting the drive unit. Always check that lifting
equipment is in good condition and has sufficient
load capacity to lift the engine (engine weight in-
cluding any extra equipment installed).
To ensure safe handling and to avoid damaging
engine components on top of the engine, use a
lifting beam to raise the engine. All chains and
cables should run parallel to each other and as
perpendicular as possible in relation to the top of
the engine.
If extra equipment is installed on the engine alte-
ring its center of gravity, a special lifting device is
required to achieve the correct balance for safe
handling.
Never carry out work on an engine suspended on
a hoist.
