INTRODUCTION
HELPFUL HINTS
1.
Avoid filling tanks using unsuitable containers or inappropriate pressurised fuel delivery systems which may cause
considerable spillage.
2.
In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can
be harmful to your health.
3.
Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.
4.
Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake fluids,
etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids or fuels with lubricants. Store them safely until they can be disposed of in
accordance with local legislation and the available resources.
5.
Modern coolant mixtures, i.e. antifreeze and other additives, should be replaced every two years. Do not allow
them to enter the soil. They must be collected and disposed of safely.
6.
Do not open the air conditioning system. It contains gases that should not be released into the atmosphere. Your
dealer or air conditioning specialist has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to recharge the system
anyway.
7.
Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or hydraulic system immediately.
8.
Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised circuit as this may lead to the components exploding.
9.
Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss of
oils, coolant, etc.
