Safety precautions
These safety precautions are important. You must refer also to the local regulations in the country of use.
Some items only refer to specific applications.
Only use these engines in the type of application for which they have been designed.
Do not change the specification of the engine.
Do not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.
Clean away any fuel which has been spilt. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved
to a safe place.
Do not put diesel fuel in the tank during engine operation (unless absolutely necessary).
Do not clean, add lubricating oil, or adjust the engine during operation (unless you have had the correct
training; even then extreme caution must be used to prevent injury).
Do not make any adjustments you do not understand.
Ensure the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions. Other
persons must be kept at a safe distance whilst the engine and auxiliary equipment is in operation. Do not
permit loose clothing or long hair near parts which move.
Keep away from moving parts during engine operation.
Warning! Some parts cannot be seen clearly while the engine is running.
Do not run the engine with any safety guards removed.
Do not remove the filler cap or any component of the cooling system whilst the engine is hot and while the
coolant is under pressure, because dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
Do not use salt water in the fresh water cooling system or any other coolant which can cause corrosion.
Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially during charging), as the gases from the electrolyte
are highly flammable. The battery fluid can burn and is also dangerous to the skin and especially the eyes.
Disconnect the battery terminals before you make a repair to the electrical system.
Only one person must be in control of the engine. Ensure the engine is only operated from the control panel
or operator's position.
If your skin comes into contact with high pressure fuel, get medical assistance immediately.
Diesel fuel and used engine oils can cause skin damage to some persons. Use protection on the hands
(gloves or special protection solutions).
Do not move equipment unless the brakes are in good condition.
Do not use ether or other starting fluids to start these engines.
Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil.
Do not put material which is contaminated with oil into the pockets of clothing.
Discard used lubricating oil in a safe place to prevent contamination.
Use extreme care if emergency repairs must be made in adverse conditions.
The combustible material of some components of the engine can be extremely dangerous if burnt. Never
let this material come into contact with skin or the eyes. Refer to "Viton seals" on page 11.
Do not allow compressed air to contact the skin. If compressed air enters the skin seek medical help
immediately.
Always use a safety cage to protect the operator when a component is to be pressure tested in a container
of water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is to
be pressure tested.
Do not clean an engine whilst it is running. If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine, certain
components on the engine may be damaged.
