ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Always wear heavy-duty footwear and overalls.
Never wear loose, flapping garments, rings, bracelets and/or
necklaces in the vicinity of engines or moving parts.
Always wear protective gloves and goggles when:
• filling up batteries with acid solution
• refuelling with inhibitors or antifreeze
• replacing or topping up lubricant (hot engine oil may cause burns
and scalds. Only carry out these operations when the oil has
dropped to a temperature of below 50°C).
When working in the engine compartment, pay particular
attention to how you move, to avoid contact with moving parts
or high temperature components.
Wear goggles and use high pressure air jets (maximum air
pressure used to clean is 200 kPa (2 bar, 30 psi, 2 kg/cm
2
).
Wear a protective helmet when working in an area were there
are suspended loads or systems installed at head-height.
Use protective hand creams.
Immediately replace wet overalls.
Always keep the engine clean, removing oil, grease and coolant
stains.
Store cloths in flame-proof containers.
Do not leave foreign bodies on the engine.
Use suitable, safe containers for used oil.
When completing a repair, make suitable provisions to stop the
engine taking in air if, after start-up, an uncontrolled increase in
engine speed were to occur.
