Contact with hot engine oil
DANGER: Scalding caused by contact with hot engine oil
Scalding occurs if hot engine oil comes into contact with the skin.
Always wear personal protective equipment when changing the oil filter.
Make sure that no engine oil escapes from the oil filter and gets inside the gloves.
Contact with hot surfaces of the engine and exhaust system
DANGER: Burns caused by contact with hot surfaces of the engine and exhaust system
Touching the surfaces of the engine or exhaust system when they are at operating
temperature will cause burns.
If possible, do not work on the engine or exhaust system when they are at operating
temperature.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Contact with AdBlue® vapors
WARNING: Irritation through contact with AdBlue® vapors
The AdBlue® fluid releases ammonia vapors when it evaporates. Contact with these
vapors, for example when opening the AdBlue® tank cover at high temperatures, irritates
the mucous membranes, particularly those in the eyes, nose and throat as well as other
skin. This may cause burning and streaming eyes and irritation of the throat.
Do not inhale any escaping AdBlue® vapors. Ammonia vapors can be recognised by their
characteristic odor.
Contact with AdBlue® fluid
DANGER: Serious chemical burns through contact with AdBlue® fluid
The AdBlue® fluid contains uric acid. Contact with AdBlue® fluid irritates the mucous
membranes, particularly those in the eyes, nose and throat as well as other skin. Small
quantities can cause burning and streaming eyes and irritation of the throat; larger
quantities can cause chemical burns to the eyes and throat.
Ensure that no AdBlue® gets into the eyes and mouth or comes into contact with skin or
clothing.
If contact with the skin does occur, clean the affected areas of skin immediately with
plenty of water and soap, and change any soaked clothing.
If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse the eyes with plenty of water and then seek
medical advice.
If AdBlue® is swallowed, rinse the mouth out immediately with plenty of water and then
drink plenty of water. Then seek medical advice.
Poisoning from exhaust gases
WARNING: Serious poisoning or death from inhaling exhaust gases
The exhaust gases from the engine contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Operating the
engine in enclosed or insufficiently ventilated spaces can lead to death through
unconsciousness and subsequent poisoning from the inhaled exhaust gases.
Before starting the engine, ensure that the surrounding area is adequately ventilated.
If starting the engine in enclosed spaces, the extraction system must be connected and
operational.
