1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fuel

Diesel fuel is an extremely

flammable liquid, and must not be

exposed to naked flames or come

into contact with hot surfaces. The

diesel fuel fumes remaining in an

empty fuel tank form an extremely

explosive mixture.

When fuel system components are being

removed, some fuel will escape.

To keep this spillage to a minimum, unscrew the

tank cap to release any overpressure.

Any spilled fuel must be collected, bearing in

mind the risk of fire.

Exhaust gases
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or

unventilated area.

Make sure exhaust fumes are properly extracted.

Exhaust gases contain carbon

monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is a deadly

colourless and odourless gas,

which, when inhaled, deprives the

body of oxygen, leading to

asphyxiation. Serious carbon

monoxide poisoning may result in

brain damage or death.

Moving parts
Remain at a safe distance from rotating and/or

moving components.

Various fluids
Various oils and lubricants used on the vehicle

may constitute a health hazard.

This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen

washer fluid, refrigerant in air-conditioning

systems, battery acid and clutch fluid.

So avoid inhaling and direct contact.

Electrical short-circuit
Always disconnect the battery's earth connection

during repair or maintenance operations for

which the electric power supply is not required.
