1.5 Safety Instructions
Only use transport devices specified by the manufacturer, and only follow
hoisting instructions specified by the manufacturer.
When handling fuels, lubricants and other chemical substances, follow the
safety regulations which apply to the product.
Do not smoke when handling inflammable fuels or lubricants.
Vapours from lubricating oil or fuel may catch fire if they come into contact
with sources of ignition.
Be careful when handling hot or corrosive fuels, lubricants or other sub-
stances (risk of burning or scalding).
Never carry out maintenance and repair work when the engine is running.
Ensure that the engine cannot start unintentionally.
Before turning the engine over, make sure that nobody is in the danger
area. When you have finished working on the engine, always check that
the safety devices have been refitted, and that all tools have been removed
from the engine.
Never carry out any work on safety valves (e.g. modification of the spring
tension). Defective safety valves must be replaced with new ones.
When disposing of used fuels, lubricants and filters, follow the regulations
which apply locally.
Before or when you start the engine, check:
−
all lines, hoses and screwed connections for leaks;
−
safety devices for completeness and ability to operate.
When starting the engine by hand, only use the starting device specified by
the manufacturer (starting handle with kick back limiter, recoil starting) and
follow the handling instructions.
Never use cold starting aids based on ethyl oxide.
Because of the explosion hazard, it is forbidden to start up a compressed-
air start engine with combustible gases (fuel gases) or oxygen, even in an
emergency.
