REPAIR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR WORK ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
Mixtures of petrol and diesel (winter fuel) are as inflammable as petrol.
- Do not refuel in closed areas.
- Wipe off overflowed fuel.
- Do not smoke when working on the fuel system and do not use naked light! There is a danger of fire!
SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR WORK ON ELECTRICAL WIRING
• Disconnect the battery when carrying out any repair in the charging circuit to avoid incidental short-circuits.
• When dismantling, first disconnect the cable from the negative pole (-), then from the positive one (+).
• Do not disconnect batteries when the engine is running!
• Connect the “minus“ pole of the battery to the chassis and the “plus“ pole to lead “B+“ from the alternator. In case of the reverse
connection the whole semiconductor device could get destroyed.
• When starting with auxiliary external supply, do not disconnect such supply sooner than the battery of the machine is
connected. Watch out starting voltage of the auxiliary external supply (for 24 V).
• Do not put the alternator into no-load run, i. e. with the wire disconnected from the “+“ terminal and connected “D+“ terminal.
• Do not check the presence of voltage in the wire by sparking it on the chassis of the equipment.
• Do not do anything that produces sparks.
• When handling batteries, use protective rubber gloves and goggles.
• Protect your skin and clothes from stains by electrolyte or lead particles.
• When electrolyte gets into your eye, rinse it with a stream of water for a few minutes. Then see a doctor as soon as possible.
• When electrolyte stains your skin or clothes, take off your clothes, wash the stained area with soap water or with a solution
of baking soda and water and see a doctor.
• After taking electrolyte incidentally, drink as much milk or water as possible or a solution of magnesia and immediately see
a doctor.
• Never pour distilled water into the cells unless the operation of the machine or charging outside the equipment follows. In
such case the battery would self discharge increasingly.
• Never add sulfuric acid (H
2
SO
4
)!
• Do not overturn the batteries because electrolyte could run out of the degassing holes of the battery.
• If acid (electrolyte) is spilled, rinse the place with water and neutralize it with lime.
• When the batteries are being charged, hydrogen is released and it makes mixed with air, an explosive, easily combustible
mixture. Do not use open flame and do not smoke.
