Carbon monoxide
Fuel
Hot parts
Spent engine and transmission oil
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause death. Consequently, when performing
procedures with the engine running, make sure you are in the open air, or in a suitable, well-ventilated room,
never in an enclosed space. If you are working indoors, use an extraction system to remove exhaust fumes .
The fuel used is highly flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Perform refuelling and maintenance procedures in a properly ventilated area with the vehicle switched off. Do
not smoke while refuelling and when you are around fuel vapours: avoid contact with naked flames, sparks and
any other source that could cause fuel to ignite or explode.
Dispose of fuel responsibly and keep out of reach of children.
The engine and certain other parts get very hot and remain hot for some time even after the engine has been
switched off. Before performing any work around the engine or exhaust system, put on insulating gloves or wait
for the parts in question to cool down.
The engine and transmission oil used is harmful to health if breathed in or swallowed: it is also an irritant and
can have serious consequences if it comes into contact with skin.
Do not spill or release to the environment.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, instead seek emergency medical attention immediately, indicating the
cause and manner of the accident.
After contact with skin, wash the affected part immediately with soap and water, repeating the operation until
there is no trace of oil on the affected part.
After contact with eyes or ears, flush affected parts immediately with plenty of water: seek emergency medical
attention immediately, indicating the cause and manner of the accident.
After contact with clothing, remove any affected garments and wash parts of the body in contact with
contaminated clothing with plenty of soap and water. Put on new clothing and wash the affected clothing with
appropriate products as soon as possible.
Always use suitable hand protection when performing maintenance work.
Keep out of reach of children.
Spent engine and transmission oil must be placed in a sealed container and taken to the nearest service station
or to a waste oil collection centre, where authorized personnel will handle its disposal.
