. There are therefore no mea-
surement guidelines for these measurements.
The personal vibration load on the driver over
a working day shall be determined in accor-
dance with the Directive 2002/44/EC by the
operating company (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition
of terms used for responsible persons", P. 20)
at the actual place of use, in order to consider
all additional influences, such as driving route,
intensity of use etc.
Exhaust gases
The engine releases exhaust gases into the
environment during operation. The exhaust
gases mainly consist of water vapour, carbon
dioxide (CO
2
), carbon monoxide (CO), hydro-
carbons (CH), aldehydes and nitrogen oxide
(NO
X
). The components CO, CH and NO
X
are toxic or harmful to health and must not be
inhaled in high concentrations.
For this reason, the engine cannot be operated
in closed areas without sufficient ventilation.
Heat
WARNING
The exhaust gases are very hot and
canignitecombustiblematerial.
– Accordingly, keep the exhaust
pipe away from combustible
materials.
Battery
WARNING
During charging, the battery re-
leases a mixture of oxygen and hy-
drogen (detonating gas). This gas
mixture is explosive and must not be
ignited.
Suitable ventilation and keeping it
away from open flames can avoid
the danger of explosion.
– Observe the safety regulations for
handling the battery.
