5.5.3 Risks of batteries exploding
DANGER
The gas of the batteries may explode.
a) Keepanysparks,openflamesorlitcigarettesawayfromtheupperpartofthebattery.
b) Neverplaceametalobjectbetweentheterminalstocheckthebatterycharge.Useavoltmeterora
densimeter.
c) Donotcreatesparksinthebatteryconnectionduringrechargingphasesorstartingtheenginewith
auxiliarybattery.
d) Donotchargethebatteriesiftheyareextremelycold,extremelyhotordamagesastheymightexplode.
e) Heatthebatteriesupto16°C.
f) Theelectrolyteinthebatteriesisanextremelycorrosiveacid.
g) Shouldthebatteryexplode,theelectrolytemaybesprayedintheeyeswiththepossibilityofcausing
blindness.
h) Ensuretobewearingprotectivegoggleswhencarryingoutmaintenanceonthebatteries.
i) Donotoverturnortiltthebatteryasacidcouldcomeout.
5.5.4 Residual risks
DANGER
Damage may be caused by entanglement in moving parts.
Keep away from moving parts.
DANGER
Avoid burns.
Damage may be caused by entanglement in moving parts.
Jets of hot fluids:
Afteroperation,theenginecoolingliquidishotandunderpressure.Contactwithhotwaterorsteammay
causeseriousburns.
Avoidpossibleinjurycausedbyhotwaterjets.Donotremovetheradiatorcapuntiltheenginehascooled
down.Toopenit,unscrewthecapasfaraspossible.Beforeremovingthecap,releaseallofthepressure.
Hot surfaces and fluids:
Theengine,reductiongearsandhydraulicsystemoilheatupduringvehicleuse.Theengine,rigidandflexible
pipingandothercomponentsheatup.
Waituntilallpartscooldownbeforebeginningmaintenanceorrepairwork.
DANGER
Caution with pressurized fluids.
Fluids such as fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and eyes causing serious injuries.
Avoidthesedangerswhilerepairingorcarryingoutmaintenanceonthevehicle,dischargingthepressures
(usingthehydraulicleversofthedistributors)beforedisconnectingorrepairingpipesandhydraulicparts.
Beforerestartingtheengine,ensurethatallconnectionshavebeencorrectlytightened.
