ags-200
- Clean up any spilt fuel.
- Operate exhaust fans in closed rooms..
RISK OF INJURIES
There are mobile parts in stationary or running engines (belts and so forth) that could
injure the hands and arms.
Amongst the various engine components, pay the greatest attention to electric fans
since they may start operating unexpectedly even when the engine is off.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Never place your hands near moving parts whilst the engine is on.
- If you must work near electric fans, first allow the engine to cool, then remove the
fan plug from the motor.
- Keep the connection cables of test instruments well away from the moving parts
of the engine.
RISK OF BURNS
Some of the engine components (exhaust gas manifold and so forth) can become very
hot, as can some of the sensors.
Take great care to avoid touching these components.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Wear protective gloves.
- Allow the engine and any self-contained accessory heaters to cool down.
- Do not route the connection cables of test instruments over or near hot parts.
- Do not keep the engine running after the tests.
DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
There could be a risk of fire outbreak or explosion when work is carried out on the fuel
system (fuel pump, injectors and carburetor, etc.) owing to the fuels used and/or the
vapours they create.
