SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
id.:
DB 460 REV. 00 02/01/2015
- If faults are found during vehicle operation or maintenance (noise, vibration, unusual smells, fault signalling,
oil leaks, etc.) report to the person in charge so that the appropriate action can be taken. Do not start the
vehicle until the fault has been repaired.
- No modifi cations may be made to the vehicle without prior authorisation from FIORI, as modifi cations may
create risks.
- Before making any modifi cation, consult with FIORI. FIORI is not responsible for any injury or damage
caused by unauthorised modifi cations.
- Welding operations must always be carried out by a qualifi ed welder and in a place equipped with adequate
tools.
- If you are involved in welding operations, wear dark-glassed goggles or a mask, a hardhat, overalls, and
safety gloves and shoes.
Never look at the welding arc without wearing all the specifi c personal protection devices.
Eye protection must also be worn by anyone standing in the vicinity even if not directly involved in the
welding operations.
- Have a fi re extinguisher at hand in the area where the welding operations are carried out.
- Remove the key from the battery master switch before carrying out any welding operations on the vehicle.
- When carrying out repairs by means of welding, the paint may get burned by the welding heat or dangerous
gases may be released.
Before starting to weld, remove the paint from the part to be welded.
- Do not use a torch to weld or cut a tube containing a combustible solution: this may cause fi re or explosion.
3.3.2 PRECAUTIONS DURING WELDING OPERATIONS
3.3.3 FAULTS AND UNAUTHORISED MODIFICATIONS
3.3.4 CLEANING THE VEHICLE
- Parts soiled with oil or grease, broken tools or parts left lying around are dangerous as they may cause
slipping and falling. Always keep the vehicle and the workplace clean and tidy.
Thoroughly clean the fl oor, handrails, instruments, plates, lights and windows of the cabin.
- When using compressed air to clean parts, wear protective goggles, limit the pressure to maximum 2 bar
and adhere to the safety regulations in force.
- Accidental infi ltration of water into the electric system may cause functional and operational problems. Do not
use pressurised water or steam to clean the electric system (sensors, connectors).
- Do not use petrol, solvents or other fl ammable liquids to clean parts; use approved non-fl ammable and non-
toxic commercial solvents.
- If inspection and maintenance are carried out when the vehicle is still soiled with oil or mud, you run the risk
of slipping and falling, or that the mud and dirt comes into contact with your eyes. Always keep the vehicle
clean.
