Safety precautions for running the
engine
Daily inspection
Always carry out a visual inspection of the en-
gine and engine compartment before starting the
engine or when the engine has been switched off
after operation.
This inspection should be done to detect fuel, oil
or coolant leaks, or anything else that may re-
quire corrective action.
Fuel
Use only fuel recommended in the workshop
manual.
The wrong fuel grade can cause breakdowns or
stoppages by causing the injection system to
malfunction. This can cause damage to the en-
gine and, possibly, personal injury.
Refuelling
Never overfill the fuel tank as the fuel needs
space to expand. Also ensure that the filler cap is
properly closed.
During refuelling there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion. The engine must be switched off and smok-
ing is prohibited.
Hazardous gases
Only start the engine in a well ventilated area.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxides, which are toxic.
If it is run in an enclosed space, there should be
an effective device to extract exhaust gases and
crankcase gases.
Starter lock
If the control panel is not fitted with a starter
lock, the engine compartment should be locked
to prevent unauthorised personnel from starting
the engine. Alternatively, a lockable master
switch or battery master switch can be used.
