Environment and safety
Starter gas
Never use starter gas or similar agents to help
start the engine. This can cause an explosion in
the intake manifold and possible injury.
Running
The engine must not be run in environments
where there is a risk of explosion, as all of the
electrical or mechanical components can gener-
ate sparks.
Approaching a running engine always poses a
safety risk. Parts of the body, clothes or dropped
tools can get caught in rotating parts such as the
fan and cause injury. For personal safety all ro-
tating parts and hot surfaces must be fitted with
guards.
Safety precautions for handling ma-
terials
Fuel and lubricating oil
All fuels and lubricants as well as many chemi-
cals are flammable. Always follow the instruc-
tions on the relevant packaging.
The work must be carried out on a cold engine.
Fuel leaks and spillage on hot surfaces can cause
fire.
Store used rags and other flammable materials
safely so as to avoid spontaneous combustion.
Batteries
The batteries contain and form oxyhydrogen gas,
particularly during charging. Oxyhydrogen gas
is flammable and highly explosive.
There must be no smoking, naked flames or
sparks near the batteries or the battery compart-
ment. Incorrect connection of a battery cable or
jump lead can cause a spark, which can cause the
battery to explode.
Chemicals
Most chemicals such as glycol, anti-corrosive
agents, preservative oils and degreasing agents,
are hazardous to health.
Some chemicals, such as preservative oil, are
also flammable.
Always follow the safety precautions on the rel-
evant packaging.
Store chemicals and other materials which are
hazardous to health in approved containers,
marking them clearly and storing them where
they are inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
Always hand in leftover and used chemicals to
an authorised waste disposal contractor.
