Risk of fire

Work on live electrical lines carries a risk of short
circuit.

Before starting work on the electrical system,
disconnect the on-board electrical system from the
power source, e.g. battery.

With all bodies make sure that neither flammable
objects nor flammable liquids can come into
contact with hot assemblies (including through
leakages in the hydraulic system) such as the
engine, gearbox, exhaust system, turbocharger, etc.

Appropriate caps, seals and covers must be
installed on the body in order to avoid the risk of
fire.
