To avoid a fire hazard, the engine, the exhaust
system and their surroundings must be kept free
of flammable fluids and material such as dead
leaves and dirt.
Where there is an engine encapsulation, if
necessary, the encapsulation panels must be
thoroughly cleaned after each inspection interval
because of the risk of fire if the inside of the
panels is dirty.
Always disconnect the earth connection of the
battery before working on the vehicle.
Always use stands to support the chassis or
components when working under the vehicle.
Always charge batteries in a properly ventilated
area and avoid creating sparks and naked
flames.
Fast charging should only be used in an
emergency. When fast-charging, the battery
positive and negative leads (+ and -) must be
disconnected.
