SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RUNNING THE ENGINE
Daily maintenance
Always carry out a visual inspection of the engine and
engine compartment before starting the engine or when
the engine has been switched off after operation.
This inspection should be done to detect fuel, oil or
coolant leaks, or anything else that may require
corrective action.
Fuel
Use only fuel recommended in the Workshop Manual.
WARNING
The wrong fuel grade can cause breakdowns or
stoppages by causing the injection system to
malfunction. This can cause damage to the engine
and, possibly, personal injury.
Refuelling
Never overfill the fuel tank as the fuel needs space to
expand. Also ensure that the filler cap is properly closed.
WARNING
During refuelling there is a risk of fire and explosion.
The engine must be switched off and smoking is
prohibited.
Hazardous gases
WARNING
Only start the engine in a well ventilated area. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxides, which are toxic.
If it is run in an enclosed space, there should be an
effective device to extract exhaust gases and
crankcase gases.
Starter lock
CAUTION
If the control panel is not fitted with a starter lock, the
engine compartment should be locked to prevent
unauthorised personnel from starting the engine.
Alternatively, a lockable master switch or battery
master switch can be used.
Starter gas
WARNING
Never use starter gas or similar agents to help start
the engine. This can cause an explosion in the intake
manifold and possible injury.
Running
WARNING
The engine must not be run in environments where
there is a risk of explosion, as all of the electrical or
mechanical components can generate sparks.
Approaching a running engine always poses a safety
risk. Parts of the body, clothes or dropped tools can
get caught in rotating parts such as the fan and
cause injury. For personal safety all rotating parts
and hot surfaces must be fitted with guards.
