1.6 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
- In designing and building its product, the manufacturer
has paid particular attention to those aspects posing a
risk to the health and safety of persons handling the
engine. In addition to legislative requirements, all “rules
for good technical construction” have been applied.
- The purpose of this information is to invite operators to
pay particular attention in order to prevent any form of
risk. Caution is always the best policy. Safety is also
the responsibility of all operators who handle the engine.
- All persons carrying out work on the engine at any point
in its life must possess precise technical qualifications
and skills, as well as experience recognised and gained
in the specific sector. Non-compliance with these
requirements may cause damage to the health and
safety of individuals.
- Do not tamper with, sidestep, eliminate or bypass the
installed safety devices. Non-compliance with this
requirement may be hazardous to the health and safety
of individuals.
- The procedures contained in this manual have been
tested and selected by the manufacturer’s technical
experts, and hence are to be recognised as authorised
operating methods.
- A number of procedures must be carried out with the
aid of equipment and tools that simplify and improve
the timing of operations.
- Some of these tools are normal workshop equipment,
while others are specific instruments that have been
constructed by the engine manufacturer.
- All tools must be in good working condition so that
engine components are not damaged and that
operations are carried out properly and safely.
- It is important to wear the personal safety devices
prescribed by work safety laws and also by the
standards of this manual.
- Holes must be lined up methodically and with the aid of
suitable equipment. Do not use your fingers to carry
out this operation to avoid the risk of amputation.
- Some phases may require the assistance of more than
one operator. If so, it is important to inform and exercise
them regarding the type of activity they will be performing
in order to prevent risks to the health and safety of all
persons involved.
- Do not use flammable liquids (petrol, diesel, etc.) to
degrease or wash components. Use special products.
- Keep flames away from the engine to avoid the risk of
fire.
- Replace worn or damaged parts exclusively with original
LOMBARDINI spare parts. This will contribute to
ensuring better performance and longer product life.
