Safety regulations

When carrying out checking, setting and repair work
D Checking, setting and repair work must be carried out by authorized
personnel only.
D Use only tools which are in satisfactory condition. Worn open-end
wrench slip, which could lead to injury.
D When the engine is hanging on a crane, no-one must be allowed to
stand or pass under it. Keep lifting gear in good condition.
D When checking injectors do not put your hands under the jet of fuel.
Do not inhale atomised fuel.
D When working on the electrical system disconnect the battery earth
cable first. Connect it up again last in order to prevent short circuits.
D When welding comply with the “Instructions for welders”.
When working on the electronic ignition system
The firing power of electronic ignition systems is significantly higher than that of conven-
tional, mechanically controlled systems.
As a result, electronic ignition systems work in a voltage range which in the event of
physical contact with energised parts (of both primary and secondary circuits) may be ex-
tremely dangerous.
In this context we refer you to the relevant VDE instructions, particularly to VDE
0104/7.67, which must be complied with in all work on and checks of the ignition system.
D When working on the ignition system, always switch off the ignition.
Such work comprises the installation of cable harnesses in commis-
sioning procedures and the exchange of parts (spark plugs, ignition
cables etc).
