Safety Information 9
Fire or Explosion Prevention
The diesel engine will operate on any
fuel which enters the cylinder, whether it
is from the injectors or from the air in-
take system. Therefore, if any solvent is
used to flush out the air cleaner element,
the engine may overspeed during
start-up. Engine damage and severe
injury and/or death from burns or explo-
sion can occur.
The engine should not be operated in an
area where combustible gases are suspected
to be in the air. These could be drawn into
the engine through the engine air intake
system and could cause the engine to over-
speed with possible serious damage to the
engine and bodily injury or property
damage.
W0001526
Excessive heat may cause the pressur-
ized components of the air conditioned
system to explode. Never weld, solder,
steam clean or use a gas torch near any
part of the air conditioning system. Se-
vere injury or death may occur from an
explosion.
Do not pressure or leak test R134a refriger-
ant for air conditioning or servicing
equipment using compressed air. Some
mixtures of air and R134a refrigerant have
been shown to be combustible at elevated
pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, can
cause injury or property damage. Consult
the R134a Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for additional information.
