HEALTH AND SAFETY
1. The equipment is not weatherproof and should not be used outside in rain or snow.
2. The internal circuits and components of the analyser should not be tampered with.
No internal parts are operator serviceable.
3. Operators should exercise due caution with regard to the engine fan and associated
belts.
4. Always provide ventilation by using an exhaust gas extraction system or by having
an adequate supply of fresh air.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) from a vehicle exhaust is a highly poisonous gas. If it is breathed in, it is
absorbed by the blood and will result in greatly slowed reactions and if absorbed in sufficient
quantity can be fatal. Published figures show that a concentration of 0.3% CO in the air can be
fatal if inhaled for more than 30 minutes.
5. Before starting an engine, ensure that the gear selector is in neutral
or park.
6. Care should be taken with regard to scalding from the cooling system, burns from
the exhaust system and electric shocks from the ignition HT system.
7. When disconnecting the fuel system of a hot engine beware of the fire hazard caused
by fuel spilling onto manifolds, ignition distributor, etc.
8. Position the mains cable and sampler pipe in such a manner that they do not present
a hazard to anyone.
9. The earth lead of the mains supply cable MUST ALWAYS be connected to a good
earth point.
10. Operators should not allow themselves to come into contact with water or other
similar conductors when using the equipment.
11. Equipment should be sited in an area designated and clearly marked:
