Safety precautions for maintenance
Switch off the engine
Working on a running engine always poses a
safety risk. Parts of the body, clothes or dropped
tools can get caught in rotating parts and cause
injury.
Always switch off the engine before carrying out
maintenance, unless otherwise indicated.
Make it impossible to start the engine: Remove
any starter key, or cut the power using the main
power switch or battery master switch and lock
them.
Hot surfaces and fluids
There is always a risk of sustaining burns when
an engine is hot. Particularly hot parts are engine
manifolds, turbochargers, oil sumps, as well as
hot coolant and oil in pipes and hoses.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns and skin irritation. Wear
protective gloves and goggles when changing
hot oil.
Make sure that there is no pressure in the lubri-
cation system before starting work on it.
Make sure that the oil filler cover is fitted when
starting and running in order to avoid oil escap-
ing.
Used oil must be disposed of as specified in na-
tional and international laws and regulations.
