Safety precautions for inspection
and repair
Switch off the engine
Always switch off the engine before carrying out
inspections and repairs, unless otherwise indicat-
ed.
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.
Fix a warning plate somewhere appropriate,
showing that work is being carried out on the en-
gine.
Working with 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.
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, hot coolant
and oil in pipes and hoses.
